This chapter considers the aspects of aviation psychology most likely to be relevant and useful to the healthcare professional. The subspecialty aviation psychology encompasses the wide‐ranging application of psychological research, practice and theory to the understanding and enhancement of safe and comfortable air travel including recruitment, design and passenger behaviour. The focus here is on describing the major psychological issues that may arise from encounters with passengers and crew. We have therefore described the experience of modern air travel and its psychological implications for passengers, and provided information on the implications of airport security, air rage and jet lag. The chapter discusses the implications of air travel for passenger and crew mental health, particularly its impact on their relationships. It also provides guidance for the health professional who encounters passengers who are afraid of flying.
