Beat your flying fear

AEROPHOBIA, or fear of flying, affects thousands of people in Ireland and it can develop very suddenly.

Fortunately, it can be overcome just as quickly and there is now a special programme to help people of all ages to do just that. Pilot and therapist Michael Comyn has launched Fly Fearless, an Irish company geared to help sufferers overcome that fear through informative and interactive sessions.

The company provides a range of courses, including one-to-one sessions and group workshops aimed at equipping the reluctant and fearful fliers with techniques and management skills to make flying a more enjoyable experience.
