Fear of Flying – A Common Phobia

Did you know that many people who once flew with ease can suddenly develop an intense fear of flying? If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. The mere thought of boarding a plane can induce anxiety and dread for many individuals.

The Prevalence of Flight Anxiety

For a growing number of people, preparing for a flight or stepping onto an aircraft triggers a range of fear responses, from mild unease to overwhelming terror. In fact, research shows that one in three air travelers experience some form of fear related to flying.
