Aerospace giant Raytheon Technologies will cut 15,000 jobs as a result of the downturn in commercial air travel—more than double the number it had previously forecast.

During a Thursday earnings report, Raytheon President and CEO Greg Hayes cited “all the uncertainty in the recovery of commercial air traffic” before announcing the job cuts from its commercial aerospace and corporate divisions.
