Anxiety about flying, or aerophobia, affects up to 40% of people globally, especially recently due to heightened awareness of aviation incidents. Experts like Dr. Nathan Carroll emphasize that, despite anxiety, flying in the U.S. remains statistically very safe, with only 1 in 13.7 million chances of a fatal crash. Most anxious flyers might avoid flying, but the more significant impact is seen in those who usually board planes reluctantly. Acknowledging one's anxiety and seeking strategies for management can help reduce fear and improve flying experiences.
Despite recent news reports of plane crashes, flying remains statistically one of the safest modes of transportation, with millions flying safely every day.
