Group companies İstanbul Jet Aviation, İstanbul Marine Fuels, CTG Elektrik and FillOn expand their commitment to sport through sponsorships spanning basketball, sailing, volleyball and football.
Sport has the power to bring people together, foster a sense of belonging and shape collective memory far beyond the boundaries of competition. Recognizing its growing cultural and social significance, the group’s companies approach sports sponsorships as more than a platform for brand visibility: they are long-term partnerships built around shared values and meaningful connections with communities.
Operating across the energy and mobility sectors, İstanbul Jet Aviation and Fuels Inc. İstanbul Marin Marine Fuels Inc, CTG Elektrik Inc. and FillOn ( brand ) are putting this approach into practice through partnerships across four sports disciplines. İstanbul Jet supports the Fenerbahçe İstanbul Jet Wheelchair Basketball Team, İstanbul Marin Marine Fuels backs the B.B. Bodrumspor Sailing Branch, CTG Elektrik sponsors the B.B. Bodrumspor Women’s Volleyball Team, and FillOn partners with Kasımpaşa Spor. Together, these initiatives reflect a shared commitment to the unifying power of sport and its ability to connect brands with diverse audiences.

“Sport Is a Powerful Cultural Force That Brings People Together”
Hüseyin Latifoğlu, CEO of İstanbul Jet Aviation and Fuels Inc. and its group companies, commented on the group’s approach to sports sponsorships:
“Sport is much more than competition. It brings people together through shared emotions, creates a sense of belonging and leaves a lasting mark on collective memory. We therefore see sports sponsorships not simply as a means of increasing brand visibility, but as long-term partnerships that connect people and create shared value.
“Today, our companies support basketball through İstanbul Jet, sailing through İstanbul Marin, volleyball through CTG Elektrik and football through FillOn. Although our businesses operate in different areas, these partnerships reflect a common commitment: supporting sport, standing alongside athletes and recognizing the wider social impact of sport.
“We believe brands should be recognized not only for their commercial performance, but also for the value they create in people’s lives. That is why we approach sponsorships as long-term commitments rather than short-term visibility initiatives.
“Looking ahead, we will continue to bring our strength across different areas of energy together with a diverse range of sports, supporting athletes and contributing to the unifying power of sport.”
