Why do people choose Aviatours?
We put your needs first
We take care of every detail, so you can relax and enjoy the day, working in small groups with other people who feel just like you do. We provide plenty of hot drinks and regular breaks so there’s no rush, and no pressure.
All the support you need
You will be looked after by our friendly flight crew and cabin staff, headed by a senior BA pilot who will lead the course. A top psychologist or therapist will also be on hand to help, and our team will be with you throughout the day to answer any questions you may have.
Friendly, expert help
All our people are passionate about flying and want you to feel the same way. Our flight crew and cabin staff have many years of experience and are fully qualified BA personnel. At Aviatours, we don’t just fly for a living – our team includes senior professionals who actually train and assess the crews that operate today’s commercial aircraft, day-in, day-out.
We understand how you feel
Did you know that 1 in 4 people have a fear of flying? In fact, one of our own team members was initially afraid to fly – until he attended one of our courses! Fear of flying is perfectly natural, and you’ll find us very understanding. After all, we’ve helped over 45,000 people just like you.
We make it simple
Sometimes, the biggest fear comes from not knowing what is happening. During the flight, our captain gives you a running commentary at every stage, talking you through everything that happens as part of a normal, routine flight.
Essential therapy
Our psychologists are the best in their field. Keith Stoll MD runs a private practice in Harley Street, London, while Patricia Furness-Smith was an air stewardess before becoming a professional therapist. Both have written several books and contributed many articles to the national press and trade magazines. You may even find one of them holding your hand during the flight!
Please note: no hypnotherapy is used in any of our courses.
You are in control
98% of people who come on our course successfully overcome their fears. But everyone is different. We are confident that after spending the day with us, you’ll be ready for your first flight; but it remains your decision. We will never pressure you to do anything you’re not comfortable with.
