What is Aviophobia (flying phobia)?
Aviophobia or Aviatophobia – Fear of flying. Flight phobia is a fairly common condition that may affect as many as ten per cent of the population, with others reporting a lower level of anxiety and avoidance of flying whenever possible. It is evident that in the modern world of today, inability to cope with flying is a major disadvantage, especially for those whose work demands a great deal of travelling. On an everyday level, sufferers of flight phobia miss out on the opportunities for travel and holidays that, in the Western world at least, people now take for granted.
