Corendon Airlines, the principal partner of Hull City for the past five years, is organising a special flight operation for Tigers fans. Supporters from Turkey will be flown over ahead of the club’s EFL Championship play-off final against Middlesbrough in London.
As part of the collaboration between Corendon Airlines and Hull City, supporters departing from Antalya and Istanbul will travel to London on a Tigers-branded plane for the important final fixture. It takes place at Wembley Stadium on Saturday, at 3.30pm, all now finally confirmed after the recent much-publicised “Spygate” row.
Under the special operation scheduled for tomorrow (May 22), the flight will depart from Antalya at 7am local time, continuing via Istanbul, and arriving at London Gatwick Airport at 11.20am UK local time. Supporters will have the opportunity to experience the Wembley final atmosphere first-hand, as match tickets will also be included for passengers purchasing the special flight package created exclusively for the momentous occasion.

The initiative aims to provide strong support for the club’s Premier League dream while sharing the excitement of one of the most important matches in Hull City’s history, with supporters.
