Someone fill me in on this Hull City plane - what function is it to serve?

    Is this jet going to add anything to the club other than giving the players a lift (physically). A lift up the league would be what I would be aiming at. Where does this jet fit in?.............marketing ploy??? Do any other clubs have a jet in their own club livery? Could it be open for potential mockery?

    Marketing, brand awareness, sponsorship money into the club ( potentially depending on what deal it is ) and when we get Into Europe, we have an airline to fly on ;)

    I'm fairly certain that the function of planes is that they are flown from one place to another with people onboard.

    Thank you for enlightening me... are these people the same as what Ryanair refers to as self-loading freight?

    We covered this on another thread. Corendon is a Turkish budget airline. All he's done is do a deal to paint one of their new aircraft in City colours to promote the club. It's not the clubs private aircraft.

    It'll be flying tourist on their holidays in Black and Amber from the UK to Antalya and back.

    I think they put passengers in there & fly you to another location

    Pay attention at the back

    It’s main purpose is to piss of all the people that fly out of Newcastle as their nearest airport, because that’s where this ****er will fly into.

    No worries UoM it was a good question!

    Didn't Lloyd sell the club a bus for about 3 times its value when he owned us?

    You can tell Boeings from Airbus by the shape of the nose. Airbus are rounder, while Boeing are longer, a bit like Suranne Jones in Gentleman Jack.

    The registration number, ONT 8, was worth more than the coach! :emoticon-0100-smile
