English in Aviation

Air passenger transportation is expected to double between 2020 and 2040 (according to IATA), more so in areas where English is not the primary language. The necessity for intelligible communication in English becomes paramount. The safety of all crew and passengers, as well as the health of the entire passenger aviation industry, will increasingly rely on pilots and air traffic controllers to attain and maintain a level of English that ensures every pilot, crew member, and passenger is not subject to unnecessary danger as a result of unintelligible or incorrect comprehension of English language instructions and clearances exchanged between air traffic controllers and pilots.

“ Communication is of paramount importance in aviation. If a communication is misunderstood, incorrect, or garbled, even the simplest message can lead to a lapse in safety. The goal of all communications is to provide unambiguous, correct,and current information and clearances to aircrews and controllers. ”
