Travis Barker flew for the first time since surviving the deadly 2008 plane crash that claimed the lives of 4 people and left them with third-degree burns on more than half of his body.
Barker was joined by his girlfriend Kourtney Kardashian, her mother Kris Jenner, and Jenner’s boyfriend, Corey Gamble. The couples took Kylie Jenner’s private jet to Cabo for a relaxing vacation.
“It’s a huge deal that Travis flew to Cabo. The plane crash many years ago was extremely traumatizing. He has needed a lot of help to get to this point,” a close source told People. “Kourtney has been very supportive. She never pushed for him to fly. They have managed to travel in the US without having to fly and Kourtney has been totally fine with it.”
Barker suffered third-degree burns on 65 percent of his body and went through several surgeries and skin grafts to repair his injuries. He announced his plans to inch towards flying earlier this year again. In June, he tweeted, “I might fly again.”
