  • Cessna Citation X+: Often mispronounced with “X” as the letter “ecks” rather than the Roman numeral “ten” (e.g., Cessna Citation “Ten”).

  • Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS): Frequently pronounced as a word (“SAS”) rather than spelling out the letters (S-A-S).

  • Tarmac: Incorrectly used by media to describe runways, taxiways, or aprons, whereas aviation professionals use specific terms like “apron” or “runway”.

  • Flight: Sometimes mispronounced as “fly,” “fry,” or “fright”.

  • Aviation Alphabet Numbers: Often spoken incorrectly rather than using the standard pronunciation (e.g., “three” instead of “tree,” “five” instead of “fife,” “nine” instead of “niner”).

  • Etihad Airways: Pronounced “e-ti-had” (et-ee-had), often mispronounced with an ‘ee’ sound at the start.

  • EVA Air: Should be spelled out “E-V-A Air” rather than pronounced as a single word.

  • ITA Airways: Pronounced “ee-tah” (or Italian ITA), often wrongly pronounced as “eye-ta”.

  • Lufthansa: Often mispronounced with an ‘oo’ sound, but it is “luhf-tahn-zah”.

  • Qatar Airways: Frequently mispronounced, correct pronunciation is “kah-tahr”.

  • ANA (All Nippon Airways): Should be spoken as “A-N-A”.

  • JAL (Japan Airlines): Sometimes mispronounced, it is usually said as “J-A-L” rather than “jah-l”.

  • TAP Air Portugal: Simply pronounced “tap”.

  • LATAM Airlines: Sometimes mispronounced by not stressing the appropriate syllable; it is commonly “la-tam”.

  • Certificate: The ending is problematic for some students because in most cases they don’t know there is schwa

  • Polish Star Alliance carrier LOT Polish Airlines: is supposed to be pronounced as “lot.” As long as you don’t pronounce it “l-o-t,” you’re good.

  • Boeing 737/747/757/767 (The “hundred-fy” rule): While Americans usually say “Seven Thirty-Seven,” Europeans may say “Seven Three Seven”.

  • Airbus A320/A330/A350/A380: Often called “A-three-twenty” (A-three-twenty), but sometimes “A-three-hundred-twenty”.

  • Cessna 172: Commonly referred to as “one-seventy-two,” though some aviation professionals might use “one-seven-two”.

  • Boeing 707: Generally pronounced “seven-oh-seven,” but occasionally “seven-zero-seven”.

  • Boeing 727: Often referred to as the “727” or “seven-twenty-seven,” but sometimes nicknamed a “3-holer” because of its engine configuration.

  • Famous “Misreporting” (Accident Reporting) A notable, infamous case of “mispronounced” (and incorrectly reported) names occurred following the 2013 Asiana Airlines flight 214 crash, where a television station broadcast fake, offensive names like “Captain Sum Ting Wong, Wi Tu Lo, Ho Lee Fuk, Bang Ding Ow” the pilots that they claimed were confirmed, illustrating a failure in verifying technical/proper nouns.

(P.S.) I can not come up with more…
