According to TAP, Portugal’s national airliner, between 1/10 and ¼ of all adults are afraid to fly. And being afraid of flying can nowadays be a real handicap, especially in an increasingly small world where people enter aircraft as, a generation ago, one would enter a bus or a train.
A partnership between the airliner and the Unidade de Cuidados de Saúde Integrados do grupo TAP made the partnership “Ganhar Asas” (to gain wings) possible.
A multi faceted team (two psychologists, one pilot, and cabin crew member and one maintenance engineer) will accompany a small group of up to twelve people through a 24 houes course, spread over two and a half days, including sessions in aircraft mockups, flight simulators, an aircraft in maintenance and finally a real flight, between Lisbon and Madrid.
Through the years many of these courses were undertaken, but in 2016 there’ll be just one more, the 50th in TAP’s history, to take place in Lisbon in November 17th through 19th.
For twelve people it will be the opportunity to put the fear of flying behind him, and start to enjoy the possibilities opened by air mobility. In terms of prices, its 75 euro for the evaluation session, and 750 euro for the full course, this amount including the full course, support documentation, meals, and the flight from Lisbon to Madrid and back.
