FREE - it's on us!
We understand the impact an aversion to flying can have on those affected; whether it’s connecting with friends and family, taking that business trip, or enjoying a new holiday experience, travel is an essential part of island life.
Since 2017 we have helped 100s of island residents overcome this aversion with our proven ‘Freedom to Fly’ programme, which takes place over two days and includes classroom sessions with a behavioural coach and our senior Captains, culminating in an experience flight. We’re proud to host this complimentary course in our home islands and of the difference it has continued to make to many.
