PhD Thesis: Fear of Flying
December 21, 2004 Leave a comment
Fear of flying should be taken very seriously because an estimated 10 to 40 % of adults in the general population experience some type of fear in response to air travel. Although the residents of the Netherlands believed in 2000 that aviation had become safer in the last 5 years, approximately 2.5 million Dutch people still suffer in some way from fear of flying and one out of every seven adult Dutch men and women (14%) refuses to fly because of fear.
