The Wright brothers were the first people to fly, in 1903. Since then, flying has become a safe mode of travel. The risk of the aircraft crashing is less than one in a million flights, and mortality is about 50%. Fear of air travel is fairly common, and 5% of the Norwegian population will not fly. Programmes for the treatment of flight phobia can reduce the fear of air travel considerably; the participants fly more often, and their consumption of alcohol and tranquillizers show best results. The use of medication is of minor importance in the treatment of flight phobia.
1903年，莱特兄弟成为首批飞行者。自那时起，飞行已成为一种安全的旅行方式。飞机坠毁的风险低于百万分之一航班，死亡率约为50%。对航空旅行的恐惧相当普遍，挪威5%的人口不会乘坐飞机。治疗飞行恐惧症的方案可以大幅减轻对航空旅行的恐惧；参与者乘坐飞机的频率更高，他们在酒精和镇静剂的消费方面效果最佳。药物治疗在飞行恐惧症的治疗中作用不大。
