What is the difference between verbs "лететь" and "летать"?
Both verbs mean the same - to fly. Although, when we say "лететь" we talk about one-time action and it usually has one direction where to.

Когда вы летите на острова? - When are you flying to the Islands?

Многие люди боятся летать. - A lot of people are afraid of flying.
