easyJet has announced its Fearless Flyer programme has returned this month to help aerophobes overcome their fear, with spaces still available on courses from May to July at nine airports across the UK.

Nine courses will run over the next three months, with experience flights taking place across the UK including London Gatwick, London Luton, London Southend, Birmingham, Bristol, Manchester, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Belfast, as well as London Stansted for the first time since 2020 so customers have the choice of a location convenient to them.

easyJet’s Fearless Flyer course continues to be one of the best-priced aerophobia programmes in the UK, starting at £89 per person for the online-only course. Since 2012, the programme has helped over 14,000 individuals, with a success rate of more than 95%.

With one in six people estimated to be a nervous flyer, the course offers reassurance and winning techniques by senior easyJet pilots and phobia experts to help combat concerns around flying to help even the most ardent aerophobe to overcome their fear of flying.

easyJet’s Fearless Flyer course is divided into three main parts:

• A virtual ground course, where an easyJet captain explains the unfamiliar sounds and sensations customers feel onboard an aircraft during take off, landing and during times of turbulence. In addition, Lawrence Leyton, a leading expert in the psychology of fear, teaches a unique set of mind techniques to help manage nerves.

• A pre-flight one-hour ‘Meet the Team’ online Zoom session, where participants will be walked through the airport experience and what to expect. There will also be a Q&A session with the Fearless Flyer Team including an easyJet pilot, Lawrence Leyton and Course Director Mark Wein, who shares his tips and advice on how he overcame his own fear of flying many years ago.

• And lastly, a special one-hour experience flight from the course airport, where customers put their new skills to the test whilst listening to a live commentary of the flight from the Fearless Flyer team.

Spaces on the courses are available at www.fearlessflyer.easyjet.com

Mark Wein, easyJet’s Fearless flyer Course Director, said:

“As someone who used to have a fear of flying, I understand only too well how restrictive this fear can be, but it really isn’t that difficult to overcome it. Often, it’s just a lack of knowledge or coping techniques that are the root cause of the issue, which is why the easyJet Fearless Flyer course is so successful.

“We’ve put on over 200 courses since the programme started in 2012, and it’s a testament to the easyJet pilots and Fearless Flyer team who have been committed to making this programme a success. I encourage anyone with any doubts about flying to book now and change your life.”

Sarah Bradford, who attended easyJet’s Fearless Flyer course at Jersey Airport, said:

“It was an excellent experience. I was initially sceptical, but the course turned out to be truly life-changing. The modules were insightful and provided benefits far beyond overcoming my fear of flying. The Zoom session set the perfect tone, and the flight itself was excellent. Every member of staff was encouraging and supportive throughout. I would definitely recommend this program to anyone. New year, new start. Flights booked for March. Thanks to everyone.”

easyJet’s summer 2026 Fearless Flyer Experience Flights are taking place on the following dates across the UK:
