Research Notes on Aviophobia
Aviophobia is fear of flying -- a fear of being on a plane while in flight. It is also called aerophobia, aviatophobia, or pteromerhanophobia. Fear of flying may be a distinct phobia in itself, or it may be a manifestation of one or more other phobias, such as the common claustrophobia (a fear of enclosed spaces) or acrophobia (a fear of heights). It is generally considered a symptom rather than a disease, as it can have different causes in different individuals.1
