UAE, January 26, 2015: British Airways’ popular Flying with Confidence course is returning to Dubai on Saturday March 14, 2015 at The Capital Club in DIFC. The one day course, which by the end of 2015 will have helped more than 50,000 people overcome their flying phobias, will be hosted by British Airways Captain and course instructor, Steve Allright. The course addresses a number of areas of concern including how an aircraft operates, turbulence and other technical aspects of flying. Participants will also receive advice from a specialised phobia counsellor that includes breathing and relaxation techniques. The Flying with Confidence course draws on the experience and expertise of the airline’s highly trained pilots and cabin crew who run the course. “After speaking to participants during the two sessions in 2014, it seems that they find long-haul or transatlantic flights more difficult to handle than short-haul flights. With so many different nationalities living in the UAE, at some point most people are going to have to take a flight home or on holiday or for a business meeting and this is when anxiety can arise,” says Captain Allright. Joumana was one of the first people to participate in the course in Dubai last year. “The day went really well and I was very excited to be attending the course. My next trip is to the US, with a break in London, of course, and I will think about what Steve said regarding turbulence – that it’s uncomfortable but not dangerous – and will try the breathing techniques too.” 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.
