Do You Have a Fear of Flying? Here’s Why It’s Common—and How to Overcome It
Fear of flying affects up to 40% of people in the U.S., making it one of the most common anxieties. It’s no wonder—boarding a metal tube, soaring through the air at 500 miles per hour, 40,000 feet above ground, with two pilots you’ve never met can sound daunting. But here’s the truth: commercial aviation is the safest form of transportation in history.
The disconnect between safety and fear often comes from misinformation. Your social media feeds—whether it’s Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, or news outlets—love sharing viral videos with headlines like “Terrifying Turbulence Hits Plane” or “Flight from Hell.” It’s no surprise that constant exposure to these stories can trigger anxiety and fear of flying.
But did you know that turbulence is completely safe? It’s a natural part of flying and pilots are trained to handle it expertly. The problem is, there hasn’t been an easy way for travelers to learn about the safety mechanisms that keep flights secure—until now.
