The rescue helicopters and the ambulance-jets used for repatriating patients from abroad are increasingly regarded as an effective means of rescue. Operations that previously were impossible or took days to carry out can now be performed within a matter of hours. While mountainous regions still remain the main scene of action, the rescue helicopter is used more and more to deal with road accidents. New rescue techniques are developed; the principle of bringing emergency aid to the patient as swiftly as possible takes root. Swiss Air-Rescue breaks away from the SLRG and is now finally an autonomous organisation.
