Aerophobia usually doesn’t have a specific cause. It’s very rare for aerophobia to stem from a traumatic experience on a flight. Specific triggers might include:
News stories about terrorism, crashes or violence on airplanes.
Take-off and landing.
Thoughts about fire or illness spreading through the plane.
Turbulence (bumps during the flight).
Other phobias can also make aerophobia worse:
Acrophobia (fear of heights).
Agoraphobia (fear of leaving the house or not being able to escape from a place or get help if something goes wrong).
Anthropophobia (fear of people).
Claustrophobia (fear of crowded, confined spaces).
Mysophobia (germaphobia, or fear of germs).
