(Reuters) – Spirit AeroSystems Holdings <SPR.N> said on Tuesday it has reached an agreement with Boeing Co <BA.N> to deliver 125 737 MAX shipsets to the planemaker in 2020, down from the 216 it had previously announced.

Some of the agreed amount of shipsets – which include an aircraft’s fuselage, pylon, wing leading edges, thrust reverser and engine nacelle – have already been delivered to Boeing this year, it said.
