Fear of flying, or aviophobia, is a specific phobia involving intense anxiety about air travel, often triggered by concerns about turbulence, loss of control, heights, or confined spaces. It affects a significant portion of the population and can range from mild nervousness to avoidance behavior that prevents someone from flying at all. Treatment typically involves cognitive behavioral therapy, exposure therapy, and specialized courses offered by airlines or psychologists that combine education about flight mechanics with relaxation techniques.
