Shares in some of Boeing’s main suppliers were down in pre-market trading after the Air India crash involving one of the aerospace group’s 787-8 Dreamliner jets.
Shares in GE Aerospace, a maker of Dreamliner engines, were down about 5 per cent.
Spirit AeroSystems shares were down 4 per cent ahead of Wall Street’s opening bell on Thursday.
The company makes the body of 787 jets, as well as for the 737 Max aircraft that was involved in a mid-air incident in 2024 when a door plug blew out, and a fatal crash in 2018. Spirit was spun out from Boeing two decades ago, but the former parent is in the process of reacquiring it.
Boeing was down 7.5 per cent.
