The Turkish aviation industry is advised to give strategic emphasis to professional English training in addition to technical competence, as language proficiency is considered a key safety element by ICAO, which requires at least Level 4 (Operational Level) for pilots and air traffic controllers.
The need for English skills extends to pilots, maintenance technicians, cabin crew and ground handling staff, and current Turkish universities, vocational schools and training institutions provide varied aviation English programs, some of which rely on personal effort for language development.
