Abstract:
The Wright brothers were the first people to fly, in 1903. Since then, flying has become a safe mode of travel. The risk of the aircraft crashing is less than one in a million flights, and mortality is about 50%. Fear of air travel is fairly common, and 5% of the Norwegian population will not fly. Programmes for the treatment of flight phobia can reduce the fear of air travel considerably; the participants fly more often, and their consumption of alcohol and tranquillizers show best results. The use of medication is of minor importance in the treatment of flight phobia.
