You can have claustrophobia and still be able to fly in flights. Using claustrophobia against someone that they will definitely be afraid of flying in planes is wrong. There's many pictures of him going to flights, others who traveled with him often said he had no problem boarding flights.
It is aerophobia that confirms if someone is afraid of flying. You can be claustrophobic and still be fine with flights.
I have claustrophobia too and I enjoy going in flights because I don't feel confined in the plane as they usually have a lot of open space and air to breath. Many/most people with claustrophobia are afraid of flying but it doesn't mean all of them are.
