Plane crash courses tackle passengers' fear of flying

Maybe "fear of flying" should be renamed "fear of crashing" and that's not at all funny plane crashes are undoubtedly the most dreadful events.

Many people afraid of flying in aircraft could be said to exhibit signs they are trying to avoid impending doom.

And when you think about it, that's not irrational - aeroplanes are very heavy metal objects apparently supported in thin air by nothing more than, well, thin air.

It is partly for this reason that companies such as British Airways organise courses to help reluctant air passengers overcome these type of fears.

The BA fear of flying' courses are run by a company called Aviatours for more details see their website. In more than 20 years, they have worked to help many, many people who worry about flying - some 45000 in fact.
