Emirates to Auction Limited Skywards Platinum Memberships for Charity

Emirates Airline Foundation and Emirates Auction Launch Skywards Platinum Charity Auction

Emirates Airline Foundation and Emirates Auction have partnered to launch an online charity auction featuring a selection of special Emirates Skywards membership numbers with Platinum-tier status benefits. The auction will run from December 17, 2025, to January 17, 2026, and is open to participants worldwide.

The auction features a limited number of Emirates Skywards membership numbers, each linked to Platinum-tier benefits valid for up to 20 years, depending on the final bid amount. All proceeds raised through the auction will be directed to the Emirates Airline Foundation to support its work with vulnerable children across multiple countries.

Funds raised will benefit 14 non-governmental organisations operating in nine countries, supporting initiatives focused on housing, education, healthcare, nutrition, and vocational training. The Foundation works with local partners to ensure resources reach communities where they are most needed.

Sir Tim Clark, President of Emirates Airline and Chairman of the Emirates Airline Foundation, said the initiative is designed to broaden the Foundation’s supporter base and help scale its impact by supporting local NGOs with strong community presence and regional expertise.

His Excellency Abdulla Matar Al Mannaei, Chairman and Managing Director of Emirates Auction, said the collaboration reflects the company’s commitment to supporting humanitarian and charitable initiatives through structured and transparent auction platforms.

The auction will be conducted entirely online via the Emirates Auction website and mobile app. Registration is free, and bidders must submit a refundable security deposit to participate. Winning bidders will be notified within 24 hours of the auction’s conclusion on January 17, 2026.

The Skywards Platinum tier is the highest level within the Emirates Skywards loyalty programme. It includes benefits such as access to First and Business Class lounges, priority airport services, bonus Skywards Miles on flights, and the ability to extend Gold status to a nominated companion. The final bid value will determine membership validity.

The initiative coincides with the UAE’s Year of Community 2025 and supports the Foundation’s ongoing focus on humanitarian impact and sustainable community development.
