Major step forward for RAF Lossiemouth upgrades as runway refurbishment finishes early
The completion of the runway refurbishment several months ahead of schedule is an important boost for the Moray station.
From:
The Defence Infrastructure Organisation (
DIO) awarded a £75-million contract for the airfield operating surfaces project to VolkerFitzpatrick in August 2019. The project was expected to be completed in spring 2021 but fast work allowed the runway to be handed over to
RAF Lossiemouth on 15 December 2020, following successful completion of pre-use checks.
Resurfacing works are one of many improvements being made at
RAF Lossiemouth, future-proofing the Moray base for years to come. Other improvements include accommodation for personnel, a new Air Traffic Control Tower, upgrades to drainage and electrical supplies, and upgraded facilities for IX (Bomber) Squadron.
