First BVLOS flights for Project Griffin in Luxembourg

Drone operators from Luxembourg Air Rescue and Luxembourg Air Ambulance have successfully carried out the first beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) flights for Project Griffin. 

Laboratoires Réunis, Luxembourg Air Ambulance S.A., POST Luxembourg, and Santé Services are working together to explore the feasibility of transporting medical samples via drones across Luxembourg.

During these flights, the Project Griffin drone safely travelled the route between the Hôpitaux Robert Schuman at Kirchberg and the Laboratoires Reunis in Junglinster and back – the same route that will be used to transport medical samples in the future.

The drone flights were carried out under realistic conditions, but without transporting a medical sample.
