British Airways conducted its Flying with Confidence course in Dubai, UAE, this February. The one-day course, which has helped more than 45,000 people over the past 25 years, started with a session from British Airways captain and course organiser, Steve Allright, who explained the technical side of flying, how an aircraft operates and other areas such as turbulence. A recent survey commissioned by British Airways in the UAE shows that just over one in four residents have a fear of flying.
