WASHINGTON—Aircraft parts manufacturer Spirit AeroSystems said on Wednesday it is mandating COVID-19 vaccines for its 10,500 employees by Dec. 8 in line with an executive order for contractors signed by U.S. President Joe Biden last month.

The White House announced the Dec. 8 deadline for employees of federal contractors and the requirements are expected to cover millions of employees.
