On Monday 12th May, RAF Brize Norton officially marked a major milestone in enabling works at RAF Brize Norton.
Station Commander, Group Captain Louise Henton, broke ground alongside VolkerFitzpatrick and Station Brize Development Team on the Gateway Pitches, which will be the Northern Batching Plant Site throughout the project with the start of the site mobilization as construction officially began.
The Aircraft Operating Surface (AOS) is a Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) project to refurbish the airfield at RAF Brize Norton, including the runway, taxiways, hardstanding and associated Aeronautical Ground Lighting (AGL). This project is taking place as part of works to ensure continued safe operation and compliance on the airfield, with an intention to future proof the surface life for an additional 25 years.
Further updates will be shared as the project progresses.
