Are you afraid of flying?
Aviophobia or Fear of flying is one of the most common fears experienced by the general population and is responsible for a lot of avoidance and discomfort in using aviation services due to several factors:
- Fear of heights/Fear of enclosed spaces
- Traumatic experiences related to flying, such as turbulence or past accidents
- A lack of control over the flight situation / over one's emotions during the flight
- Social anxiety related to being in close proximity to other passengers
