Fear of flying could be a thing of the past thanks to a pioneering business, Anita Merritt discovered

express_echoExpress & Echo write: “ONE in six people suffer with a fear of flying, or aviophobia. For some, travelling by plane can be a terrifying ordeal and for others it can stop them from being able to enjoy long-distance holidays.

Helping people to work through their fears is the Virtual Jet Centre in Chudleigh, near Newton Abbot, which was established 18 months ago by captain Andy Wilkins.

For Alison, her fears stem back to her childhood. Her family come from the Scilly Isles so she did a lot of flying in small crafts and helicopters.
She said: “I can remember absolutely hating it as a child and I assume my fear comes from that, but it’s a very different experience from flying in a jet. Ultimately, I suppose I must have a subconscious fear of crashing, but I just don’t like being out of control or being on something I can’t get off when I want to.”
