Over the next few years, a unique opportunity to secure a 20-year Emirates Skywards Platinum Membership is being offered through a charitable auction. This initiative supports a variety of children’s charities across nine countries, including India, Kenya, and the UAE.
Charity Auction for Children’s Welfare
The auction, held under the esteemed patronage of Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, gathers funds for 14 non-governmental organizations (NGOs). These funds are directed towards crucial areas such as housing, health, education, and skills training for children in need.
Emirates Airline Foundation’s Role
Sir Tim Clark, President of Emirates Airline and Chairman of the Emirates Airline Foundation, emphasized the importance of this initiative. He stated that each bid represents not just the chance to obtain a Platinum membership but also contributes meaningfully to uplifting children and their families from poverty.
Abdulla Matar Al Mannaei, Chairman of Emirates Auction, also expressed pride in the collaboration. He noted that their expertise in world-class auctions is leveraged to create a lasting impact, embodying the UAE’s culture of generosity.

Participation in the auction is fully digital and accessible to individuals around the world. Here are the steps to join:
- Register for free at emiratesauction.com or through the Emirates Auction app.

Benefits of Platinum Membership
Winning the auction secures the highest tier of Emirates Skywards membership. The Platinum membership includes:
