The apprehension of flying, commonly known as aerophobia, encompasses a range of anxieties, including the fear of aircraft crashes, hijackings, and enclosed spaces. Those affected often experience physiological distress such as sweating, accelerated heart rate, and shortness of breath. This fear may result from past negative experiences, media portrayals of air disasters, or generalized anxiety disorders. Consequently, some individuals may avoid air travel altogether or endure significant distress during flights, potentially affecting their personal and professional lives.
