This study examines the main linguistic challenges faced by non-native speakers in learning and using Aviation English. Although English is the international language of aviation, many professionals operate in multilingual environments where misunderstanding can occur. The paper focuses on semantic, phonetic, and pragmatic difficulties that affect communication. The findings show that linguistic factors play a key role in miscommunication, and effective teaching strategies should address these issues directly.
