One in seven people have a fear of flying, known as aerophobia. It can manifest as a result of other phobias, such as a fear of heights (acrophobia), a fear of enclosed spaces or being trapped (claustrophobia), a fear of crashing (through lack of understanding of aviation and the fact that plane crashes are sensationalized whereas safe plane travel is not) or a fear of panic attacks, in a place from which escape is not possible (agoraphobia).
