Moray Council has written to Prime Minister David Cameron over fears for the area's two RAF bases.
It follows the decision to cancel the new Nimrod aircraft which will effectively close RAF Kinloss.
A task force has been set up to fight for the future of Kinloss, as well as RAF Lossiemouth which is also at risk.
The council's letter to Mr Cameron states: "We feel it is imperative that you visit Moray at the earliest opportunity."
Moray's two RAF bases contribute more than £150m to the local economy annually and support 5,700 jobs, according to a report in August by consultants hired by Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE).
PCS will be supporting our members in their campaign to save their jobs.
Save RAF Lossiemouth and its' Local Community
