The base will cease to be a flying station by the end of September this year and will close by 31 December 2012 as part of a strategic review of military bases announced in 2002.
The UK Ministry of Defence is yet to decide whether to use the base for a military purpose after the closure.
RAF Brize Norton’s Station commander group captain Dom Stamp said the new base would be the hub of air transport and air-to-air refuelling and would enable the RAF to provide a more efficient and adaptable response to future challenges.
