According to the airlines, over 25 per cent of people deal with some form of aerophobia. With the threat of contracting the COVID-19 virus, this fear only accelerates further. Catering to this hurdle is British Airways’ ‘Flying With Confidence’ course. Although it started 35 years ago, the classroom format tutorial is now coming straight to your homes.
The live interactive webinar will give its participants a thorough understanding of how flights work; what causes turbulence and how it’s not as dangerous as one presumes and show breathing techniques to manage anxiety. Factoring in the global pandemic, the course will also include tips on managing travels in the post-COVID-19 era, and safety measures in place by the UK-based carrier.

“Safety is at the heart of everything we do at British Airways. There will inevitably be some further worries and questions around the pandemic, so it’s more important than ever that we share with attendees not just the technical aspects of flying, but also the range of safety precautions we are taking, to give them the peace of mind and ensure they have a safe and enjoyable flying experience next time they fly with us,” says British Airways Captain Steve Allright in an issued statement. Captain Allright will also be running the course.
As per the airlines, the well-trained, professional and friendly staff that conducts that course has largely been successful to rid one’s fears. The day-long course, they claim, has had a 98 per cent success rate so far.
The interactive webinar course is slated to go live on October 10 at a price of GBP 125 (approximately INR 11,700). To book the course, click here.
