An Ayrshire firm has received a jobs boost after winning a £2.7m contract to manufacture carbon wing components for the Airbus A320 aircraft.

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon confirmed 100 jobs will be created at Spirit AeroSystems during a visit to Prestwick Airport on Thursday.

The firm's main work is in manufacturing parts for other Airbus jets with a company spokesman confirming additional jobs would be created to meet new demands.

Spirit has previously benefited from £2.1m funding from Scottish Enterprise towards research and development projects.

Ms Sturgeon said: "I am determined that Scotland leads on the key technological and social changes.

"I want Scotland to be the inventor and producer of the innovations that shape the future - not just a consumer of them."
