Aerophobia

Aerophobia, also called aviophobia, is an extreme fear of flying or aspects of flying, such as take-off or landing or getting locked in the plane. People with this phobia know their fear is irrational — statistics show air travel has the lowest death rates in transportation — but mostly they’re not afraid of the plane crashing. They’re more overwhelmed with the entire experience of air travel — anticipation of flying, thinking about flying, or getting to the airport and through airport security on time.
