Travelling with 2 passports (different spelling)
There is already a great answer about travelling with two passports. What happens if the spelling in the passports is slightly different (due to alphabet transliteration into English?)

Answer 2
The airline needs to check your passport for two purposes:
- To positively identify you to ensure that your name matches the booking;
- To ensure that you have the proper documentation to enter the destination country.
It sounds like in your case, you may need to show both passports to the airline on checkin. One passport will satisfy the identification requirement; the other will satisfy the arrival requirement.
Today it is not unusual to have more than one passport. The airline should be fine with this.
