A special seminar for people with a fear of flying will be held in Larnaca in November, it was announced on Thursday.

The seminar is being organised by the Mediterranean Air Safety Foundation with the support and cooperation of Cobalt Air on November 3.

It is estimated that over 80 per cent of people participating in such seminars manage to eliminate or significantly reduce their phobia.

During the November seminar, there will be presentations by special psychologists, pilots and other staff who have received special training from organisation abroad.

Part of the workshop will be a half hours flight on a Cobalt Airbus.
