Putting your adventures on hold?

Change your life in 2025 | Freedom to Fly courses | GUERNSEY & JERSEY

Fly with confidence

Since 2017 we have helped 100s of island residents affected by a fear of flying enjoy the many opportunities that travel brings with our proven ‘Freedom to Fly’ programme. It takes place over two days and includes classroom sessions with a behavioural coach and our Captains, culminating in an experience flight.

We’re proud to host our Freedom to Fly course in our home islands and the difference it continues to make for many.

Your adventures begin here

We understand the impact a fear of flying can have on those affected, particularly when living on an island. 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.

This two day course will help give you a full understanding of the aviation world, before teaching you how to manage and confront your fears to fly with confidence.

I would like to personally thank you and all the Blue Islands team in putting on an extremely immersive, emotional but also inspirational two days.

I was determined to do this for my daughter's sake. I want to be able to go on holidays as a family. This course has changed my life!

AMANDA


It was a very positive experience for me, so much information, all logical and I feel much better placed to take back control of my fear.

DUNCAN


I’m already looking into where I want to go on my next holiday and I am doing it without the worry of knowing that I have to fly there.

HELEN


DO IT!! IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE! 100% highly recommend!! I had no panics on the experience flight. I cried on the flight with joy, not fear!

LISA


For the first time in 18 years I got on the plane with no Diazepam or Valium and no other distractions. The support was incredible.
