Millions of people around the world are travelling by air on a daily basis. Just consider that, at this very moment, around 400,000 people are flying above the clouds, for professional or personal reasons. Fast, comfortable and very convenient, air travel is a true delight for many passengers. However, for others, travelling by plane is a tormenting experience. The "fear of flying' is a state of stress and panic, dominating the mind and psychology and affecting both the professional and the personal life of the traveller, and, in some cases, even his/her health.

However, "flying-phobia" is not invincible. It can be overcome, and this is what the seminars organized by Austrian Airlines, in cooperation with the Athens International Airport "Eleftherios Venizelos", promise potential participants. The seminars - organized by Austrian Airlines for 18 years at the airport of Vienna with great success - are based on the successful book "The Joy of Flying" by the General Manager of Austrian Airlines, Viktor Ziegler (Libro Publications).

The seminars will be offered at "Eleftherios Venizelos" airport at January 31st and March 6th, inviting anyone who believes that the time has come to overcome the Fear of Flying!

The seminars will be conducted in English.
