Small and mighty - Luxembourg Air Rescue

4R spoke with René Closter, Founder and Chairman of Luxembourg Air Rescue (LAR):

"Born out of nothing Luxembourg Air Rescue nowadays operates 6 MD902 helicopters and 5 air ambulances and has become one the leading players worldwide with regards to quality in the air rescue & air ambulance business.

Today, LAR is supported by 185,000 members, which represents almost 60% of Luxembourg's population. LAR is therefore the biggest organization memberwise in the Grand-Duchy. Since the foundation in 1988, our focus was to provide the best possible quality standards as in aviation quality means safety. Our vision never was to be a huge operator but to stay small and mighty. And this is weil proven by our state-of-the-art outfitted rescue helicopters and certainly the most modern and best equipped air ambulances LearJet 45XR in the world, which we recently integrated in our fleet. We will continue to stay abreast of the changes in aviation and medical technology in order to serve our members and patients with the best possible quality and professionalism."
