Hull City have secured a three-year contract extension with Corendon Airlines, locking in the Turkish carrier as the club’s principal front-of-shirt sponsor and official travel partner until the end of the 2028/29 season. The renewal builds upon a partnership initiated in 2022, supporting the club through its promotion ambitions.
Fantasy & Market Impact
Solidifying a Premier League Growth Trajectory
Since the partnership began in 2022, Corendon Airlines has handled logistics for training camps alongside fan travel initiatives. Under the renewed terms, the airline retains branding across all first-team and academy kits.
“Corendon has been a valued partner of the club since coming on board in 2022 and supported us throughout the last four years in achieving our dream of returning to the Premier League,” Ilıcalı stated. The business relationship now targets establishing the club firmly within the top flight while offering a Turkish brand global exposure.
Sponsorship Integration and Supporter Engagement
Beyond traditional jersey branding, the agreement covers several digital and physical assets. Corendon Airlines retains naming rights to the Corendon Airlines Raich Carter Suite hospitality lounge and secures prominent placement at the club’s training ground. Furthermore, the airline will integrate with Hull City’s video-on-demand service, Tigers Plus, and sponsor the upcoming season-wrapped digital campaign.
To celebrate the extension, the airline is orchestrating a direct fan activation. Supporters who logged the most miles following the club during the 2025/26 campaign will receive an all-expenses-paid trip to Germany. They will watch Hull City’s pre-season friendly fixture against Eintracht Frankfurt on August 8.
