(Reuters) - Fitch said on Friday an extended strike at Boeing could pose a risk for a credit ratings downgrade.

An extended strike could have meaningful operational and financial impact on the planemaker, increasing risk of a downgrade, the ratings agency said.

On Thursday, S&P Global Ratings said an extended strike could delay the planemaker's recovery and hurt its overall rating.
