Aircraft engine maker Rolls-Royce will slash up to 2,500 jobs worldwide in a bid to streamline its operations and tackle years of underperformance.

Britain’s flagship engineering firm, which makes engines for Boeing and Airbus planes, said Tuesday that the cuts were part of a broader strategic overhaul to “remove duplication and deliver cost efficiencies.” The restructure will lead to between 2,000 and 2,500 job losses from a global workforce of 42,000, a cut of around 6%. “We are building a Rolls-Royce that is fit for the future.
