Fear Of Flying On Rise. Here’s How Pilots And Doctors Ease Anxiety.
SHARE

Fear of flying is a common phobia that affects a significant portion of the population, despite the fact that air travel is generally considered safe. Aviophobia, or an intense fear of flying, can impact up to 40% of individuals in industrialized countries. Pilots and doctors are increasingly being called upon to help ease the anxiety associated with flying.

Personal experiences with fear of flying can be traumatic and long-lasting. One individual shared their story of a particularly turbulent flight that left them shaken and anxious for months afterwards. Seeking tools to better understand and manage their fear, they came across Dial A Pilot, a service founded by pilot Kyle Koukol. Dial A Pilot allows passengers to book calls with U.S.-based commercial pilots to discuss their fears, recent flights, safety concerns, or aviation news. By providing accurate, human-centered explanations and insights into the world of aviation, Dial A Pilot aims to shift passengers’ perspectives and alleviate their anxiety.

Pilots like Lisa Calineau, who answer calls through Dial A Pilot, often find that passengers’ fear of flying stems from specific incidents or exposure to negative news about air travel. By focusing on the rigorous training and safety measures that pilots undergo, Calineau aims to reassure passengers and restore their trust in the aviation system. Through education and open communication with pilots, many individuals can overcome their fear of flying and feel more comfortable when boarding a plane.

In addition to pilot-led interventions, clinical tools and strategies are also available to help individuals manage their fear of flying. Studies have shown that high flight anxiety can be linked to trauma and neurological markers associated with anxiety disorders. Dr. Christy Gibson, a physician and trauma therapist, offers evidence-based techniques to help individuals cope with their fear of flying. By engaging the parasympathetic nervous system through breathing exercises, visualization, and distraction techniques, passengers can reduce feelings of fear and anxiety during flights.

Ultimately, it’s important to remember that it’s okay to feel scared when flying. By seeking support from pilots, doctors, and mental health professionals, individuals can work towards overcoming their fear of flying and enjoying air travel without constant anxiety. With the right tools and strategies in place, fear of flying can be managed effectively, allowing individuals to fly with confidence and peace of mind.
