English is used in all parts of aviation, especially in aircraft maintenance, where all documentation and various manuals are written in this language. However, there are no formal requirements for aircraft mechanics to have a certain level of English. Nevertheless, aircraft mechanics must master their English language skills, since they are needed for managing their work tasks. This study deals with the issue of insufficiency of standardized English courses, and determines the English language needs of aircraft maintenance in the Slovak Republic, using a triangular approach. The gathered data from 80 respondents for this paper were subjected to descriptive and inferential statistics, which were calculated by the means of Jamovi statistical software. The results revealed that aircraft mechanics engage most often in communication situations that require their knowledge of the reading skill. The importance of all language skills (reading, writing, listening, speaking) is proven by the determination of the most-common communication activities of aircraft mechanics, which should be included in specialized English courses. The results of this study are useful in the creation of language courses which increase the level of English in aircraft maintenance, thus, increasing safety in aviation.

The formation of a common European market has raised a question of uniform relations regulations between air carriers and their passengers. The Passengers have been granted certain rights which are a subject to some challenge, whenever the air carrier cancels the flight or is delayed or denies the passenger’s right to board the aircraft. The legal standards are applied to the passengers departing from an airport located in the territory of a Member State. However, the legislator further extends the scope of the rules to passengers departing from an airport located in a third country to an airport located in the territory of a Member State, subject to two conditions, namely that the reciprocal service and assistance in that third country was not provided to a passenger, while an operating air carrier is a Community carrier.

The aim of the paper is to identify the key terms and the specific subject of protection of persons, property and other security interests protected by the law for the scientific problem of the criminology studies in the air transport environment.The paper answers the pre-research questions why research is to be carried out and which are the main research activities that will determine the course of scientific work in order to identify the scientific problem and the appropriate solution methodology for the following criminology studies in a specific air transport environment.

Firefighters face unique occupational health risks caused by a specific nature of their work.
