British Airways announced today the return of its expert-led training course Flying With Confidence, designed to help UAE residents suffering from aerophobia conquer their fears. Just in time for the holiday season, the course addresses all air-travel related distresses, and offers tips and insights on tackling the fear of flying to ensure a worry-free winter break.
The acclaimed course, which boasts a 98 per cent success rate, is set to return on Friday 26 October, 2018 at the Sheraton Grand Hotel on Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai, from 10am-1pm. The course is split into two sessions over a single day and draws on the experience and expertise of British Airways’ highly trained pilots and cabin crew, who lead the session.
Flying With Confidence is run by British Airways’ 777 Senior First Officer Aoife Duggan and Steve Reynolds from UAE Air Traffic Control. The course has helped more than 50,000 attendees in the region overcome their fears by addressing popular areas of apprehension, such as aircraft functions, causes of turbulence, and other technical aspects of air travel. Participants also receive breathing advice and learn relaxation techniques to swap pre and in-flight jitters for excitement and comfort.
“Air travel is an inevitable part of life in UAE and a fear of flying can therefore be quite prohibitive and distressing for those who suffer from aerophobia. Through these sessions, I hope more participants can face their fears and make the most of the excellent travel opportunities this region offers, along with British Airways’ far-reaching route map,” says British Airways pilot Steve Allright who is also involved in the course.
Flying with Confidence places can be booked online for AED 1,499 at www.flyingwithconfidence.com. In addition to tackling their fear of flying, all course participants will qualify for a 10 per cent discount on any British Airways flight in any cabin class.
