Fear of Flying booklet

We appreciate that many of you may have a fear of flying. A fear of flying is one of the most common concerns that people have when going abroad and we have addressed this in as many ways as we feel are possible. Our research for this booklet has been far reaching. We have taken information from many of the UK's top aviation companies and also spoken to individuals with their own fear of flying to find out what worries them and why. There are some very important facts when weighing up just how safe airline flights are. Are you aware of the following facts?

• In total there were 8,109,000,000 enplanements (people getting on an aircraft) from 1982 to 200. In this whole period there were 2,301 fatalities which means that you have a 0.00003% chance of being killed in an air crash.
• Turbulence is not dangerous and is just like a 'bumpy road' if you were travelling in a car. Turbulence is not dangerous and will not cause you to crash.
• Lightning is not dangerous anymore on airliners. Modern technology has increased the ability of airliners to absorb lightning and it is expected that each airliner will be struck at least once a year. Lightning is expected to hit airliners and often does with no incident, how often do you hear of one crashing due to this?

These are just some of the points we have covered in this booklet plus many more. If you are scared of flying or are just interested in the procedures that take place on an aircraft then take a look at our booklet - there is so much to learn in it!
