Virgin Airways Launch New Flying Without Fear Course

Virgin Atlantic Airways is due to launch a new Flying without Fear course (FWF) at Bournemouth airport on the 22 July 2007.
Virgin Atlantic, in association with FWF Ltd, is to offer one-day duration courses throughout the year which will teach those who suffer from a fear of flying techniques to overcome their fear. At the end of the course, there will be the option of a 45 minute flight for those feeling confident enough.

Virgin Holidays Chairman Sir Richard Branson said: "It is wonderful that we are able to offer yet another venue for the hugely successful Flying without Fear course, this is the second new venue for this year alone! For the past ten years we have run courses at London Heathrow, Gatwick, Manchester, Birmingham, Luton, Newcastle, Southampton & Leeds-Bradford airports which makes Bournemouth the ninth venue for the course. More people than ever can reap the awards that the course offers those who have a fear of flying."

Fear without Flying Ltd Director, Richard Conway said: "Over 10 million people in the UK have a fear of flying. Since the course began nearly ten years ago, we have had some amazing results with a success rate in excess of 98%." A ‘Flying without Fear’ film narrated by the familiar voice of David Landau will also be made available onboard the aircraft during flights in order to relax passengers.
