easyJet is launching its first Fearless Flyer course in Jersey with an experience flight taking off from Jersey Airport on 17 January 2026 to help nervous flyers take to the skies with confidence.
The renowned course has helped over 14,000 aerophobics overcome their fear of flying since it launched in 2012, with a success rate of more than 95%. Now residents of Jersey have the opportunity to experience the highly successful course at a close and convenient airport.
easyJet’s Fearless Flyer course continues to be one of the best-priced aerophobia programmes in the UK, starting at £89 per person for the online-only course and spaces are still available for the Jersey course with the experience flight taking off on Saturday 17 January 2026.
With one in six people estimated to be a nervous flyer, the course offers reassurance and winning techniques by senior easyJet pilots and phobia experts to help combat concerns around flying to help even the most ardent aerophobe to overcome their fear of flying.
easyJet’s Fearless Flyer course is divided into three main parts:
- A virtual ground course, where an easyJet captain explains the unfamiliar sounds and sensations customers feel onboard an aircraft during take-off, landing and during times of turbulence. In addition, Lawrence Leyton, a leading expert in the psychology of fear, teaches a unique set of mind techniques to help manage nerves.
- A pre-flight one-hour ‘Meet the Team’ online Zoom session, where participants will be walked through the airport experience and what to expect. There will also be a Q&A session with the Fearless Flyer Team including an easyJet pilot, Lawrence Leyton and Course Director Mark Wein, who shares his tips and advice on how he overcame his own fear of flying many years ago.
- And lastly, a special one-hour experience flight from Jersey Airport, where customers put their new skills to the test whilst listening to a live commentary of the flight from the Fearless Flyer team.
Full information on the course can be found at fearlessflyer.easyjet.com and bookings for the Jersey course.
Mark Wein, easyJet’s Fearless Flyer Course Director, said:
“As someone who used to have a fear of flying, I understand only too well how restrictive this fear can be, but it really isn’t difficult to overcome. We’re really pleased to be able to bring our course to Jersey for the first time to help nervous flyers on the island take to the skies with confidence. I encourage anyone with any doubts about flying to book now and change your life.”
Steven Treadaway, who had only ever been on one flight 27 years ago until he attended easyJet’s Fearless Flyer course at Luton Airport in October 2025, said:
“Truly life-changing experience! I’ve struggled with intense anxiety around flying for years — not just being on a plane but even seeing one or going near an airport would make me panic. The easyJet Fearless Flyer course completely changed that. The team were so understanding and professional; they explained every detail of how flying works in a way that made sense and really eased my fears. The pilot’s talk was fascinating, and the support from the coaches throughout was incredible. The highlight was the actual flight — something I never thought I’d do calmly, yet I felt safe and even enjoyed it! If you have any fear of flying, no matter how bad, this course is absolutely worth it.”
Sarah-Louise Stubbs, Head of Jersey Airport Terminal Operations, said:
“We’re delighted to welcome easyJet’s Fearless Flyer course to Jersey for the very first time. This milestone reflects our shared commitment to supporting passengers through our wider Assisted Travel provision, helping more people feel confident and comfortable when they fly. It’s a fantastic initiative that enhances the customer experience, and we look forward to seeing it take off in Jersey.”
