Until 1988, air rescue did not exist in Luxembourg. This did not bother anyone in Luxembourg, except a group of professional fire fighters: all too often, they wished to arrive quicker at emergency situations in order to save the lives of more people. So, there was a real need and that is how the idea of a Luxembourg air rescue station was born! Indeed there is one person who has made an invaluable contribution to the development of Luxembourg Air Rescue - and who is still proceeding with his extraordinary life's work: René Closter, president and chief executive officer of LAR.
