First Official Drone Flight with Blood Sample

04.08.2025

A significant leap forward in medical logistics: the GRIFFIN drone has completed its first transport of a blood sample from Hôpital Kirchberg to Laboratoires Réunis in Junglinster – fast, secure, and eco-friendly. 

10-minute flight at 100 km/h 

Secure, controlled transport for sensitive medical samples 

Zero CO₂ emissions, minimal energy consumption 

Reduced road traffic – fewer risks, fewer emissions 

This innovative solution was purpose-built for the transport of medical samples and meets the highest standards of safety, reliability, and sustainability – protecting people, samples, and the environment. 

The presence of Finance Minister Yuriko Backes, Health Minister Martine Deprez, and Economy Minister Lex Delles underscores the national significance of this technological milestone. 

A sincere thank-you to our partners – especially Luxembourg Air Services, POST Luxembourg, Santé Services, and the Hôpitaux Robert Schuman team – for making this pioneering project possible.
