The airline’s Flying with Confidence course returns to Dubai in October Dubai, UAE, September 18, 2016: British Airways is celebrating 30 years of assisting nervous travellers conquer their fear of taking to the skies since it launched its Flying with Confidence course in 1986. To date, the course, which returns to Dubai this October, has helped more than 50,000 people and aims to expand its reach through further sessions held throughout the British Airways network. Marking the third year in the emirate, British Airways will be hosting its next Flying with Confidence course on Saturday October 15 at The Capital Club. Led by pilot and trainer Captain Steve Allright, the day is designed to offer attendees the first significant step towards conquering their fear and possibly cure them completely. “The fear of flying is more common than people may think and is often fuelled by misinformation about planes. By taking people step by step through the journey, not only can they gain confidence through knowledge, but they will learn how to handle their fear,” Captain Allright noted. The full day course will cover all the technical aspects of flying as well as the psychology and physiology of fear. During the day, attendees will receive three hours of seminars with a British Airways pilot who will explain how an aircraft flies, pilot training, turbulence, security and much more. In addition, a senior manager from air traffic control and leading phobia counsellor will both be on hand to take people through their areas of expertise. The course starts at 9:30am and concludes at 3pm, with the inclusion of an extensive lunch and refreshments throughout the day for the cost of AED1,499. Participants can book their place online 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.
