Corendon Airlines extends sponsorship agreement with Hull City
Corendon Airlines has renewed its partnership with Hull City football club as official travel sponsor. The two-year extension was announced as the Hull City team arrived in Istanbul for its pre-season preparations, on a specially designed Corendon Airlines aircraft featuring a striking tiger livery inspired by the Hull City logo.
Under the Tigers on Tour campaign, Hull City is holding its training camp at the TFF Riva Hasan Doğan National Teams Training and Camp Facilities in Istanbul until 20 July.
News of Corendon’s extended partnership was announced at a press conference with Hull City Chairman Acun Ilıcalı, Head Coach Sergej Jakirovic, and Sporting Director Jared Dublin, where key updates were shared on the club’s new season goals, technical structure, and transfer plans.
Yıldıray Karaer, Chairman of the Board, Corendon Airlines, commented: “As we celebrate the 20th anniversary of our company, we are delighted to renew our sponsorship agreement with Hull City, which began in 2022. This partnership is not only a significant milestone in Corendon Airlines’ international brand journey but also a tangible reflection of the value we place on the unifying power of sports. We are proud to continue this strong collaboration, driven by our belief in Acun Ilıcalı’s vision and the future of Hull City.”
Acun Ilıcalı, Hull City Chairman, said: “Corendon Airlines believed in this project from day one and has been with us ever since. I send my love to the entire Corendon family. They’re happy, and so are we. Corendon Airlines is the brand bringing our British fans to Turkey, and it plays a crucial role in our country’s tourism. They’re bringing the world to Turkey. If we can make our voices heard in the UK together, that will be a great success. We’ll continue this partnership for many years to come.”
Support from the UK Fans in Istanbul
A group of around 100 Hull City supporters are also present in Istanbul during the training camp, showing their loyalty to the team. They were brought to Turkey with the support of Corendon Airlines and are accompanying the Hull City team during the eight-day camp, enjoying an unforgettable Istanbul experience.
