Hull City’s owner Acun Ilicali arrived into Hull in style this afternoon, ahead of the team’s Boxing Day home game against Sunderland.
Acun’s private jet was spotted circling MKM Stadium at around 1.20pm, before heading towards Humberside Airport. According to Flight Radar, the multi-million dollar Bombardier Global Express XRS was flying as low as 775ft while above the stadium.
Eagle-eyed residents spotted the plane circling above the city and local photographer Bob Carter captured it flying overhead. The jet’s personalised registration ‘TC- ACN’ could even be spotted from the ground.

For those unfamiliar with the jet, many were speculating about why it was circling Hull and even got out of their cars to film it. Some assumed the jet was aiting to land at Humberside Airport, but others hinted it was a home game tradition.
The jet had taken off from Wroclaw Copernicus Airport in Poland earlier today and it is rumoured that Acun is hosting some guests at today’s match. It was previously reported that the Turkish entrepreneur’s jet was bought for a whopping $13 million and is where he spends a lot of his time due to a frequent travel schedule.
Hull City’s home game against Sunderland kicked off at 3pm.
