What is aerophobia?
Aerophobia is a fear of flying that can cause intense anxiety before and during air travel, or lead people to avoid flying altogether.
Common signs and symptoms
- Anticipatory anxiety days or weeks before a flight
- Avoiding flights, or only flying under great distress
- Panic during takeoff, turbulence, or landing
- Hyper-focus on sounds, movements, or crew expressions
- Physical symptoms such as a racing heart and sweating
When does it become a phobia?
Some nervousness about flying is common. It becomes a phobia when the fear leads you to avoid flying, miss opportunities, or endure flights with severe distress.
Why are people afraid?
Fear of flying often blends fears of crashing, of enclosed spaces, of heights, and of losing control in a situation you cannot leave. Avoidance prevents you from gathering reassuring experiences.
Fear of flying is widespread, with surveys suggesting a large minority of adults feel anxious about air travel and a smaller group who avoid it entirely.
