LAR celebrates 25 years of air rescue
Until 1988, air rescue did not exist in Luxembourg.
This did not bother anyone in Luxembourg, except a group of professional firefighters who often wished to arrive more quickly at emergency scenes in order to save more lives.
There was therefore a real need, and this is how the idea of a Luxembourg air rescue station was born.
One person in particular has made an invaluable contribution to the development of Luxembourg Air Rescue and continues to pursue this extraordinary life’s work.
That person is René Closter, president and chief executive officer of LAR.
