Auction for a good cause

In the year of Lufthansa’s 100th anniversary, there is a very special opportunity for aviation enthusiasts, collectors, and colleagues: Together with help alliance and Cargo Human Care, Lufthansa is auctioning off selected Business Class double seats from the Airbus A380 “Munich.”

The seats come from the D-AIMB, which has been in service worldwide since 2010. In more than 46,700 flight hours, the aircraft covered approximately 70 to 80 million kilometers – equivalent to nearly 2,000 trips around the globe. As part of the modernization of the A380 fleet, the previous Business Class seats were removed and are now looking for a new home.

The auction offers a rare opportunity to acquire an original piece of Lufthansa tradition and aviation history. Whether as an extraordinary collector’s item, an eye-catcher in the office, or a special memento: each seat tells the story of millions of kilometers flown, countless journeys, and an aircraft that has become a symbol of modern long-haul flying for many people.

The best part: Every bid also supports important social projects. All proceeds go directly to help alliance and Cargo Human Care. While help alliance provides young people at Lufthansa locations worldwide with access to education, training, and career opportunities, Cargo Human Care uses the auction proceeds to support training and educational programs for young people in Kenya in particular.

The auction begins on June 19, 2026, 10 a.m. on eBay Charity; the seats will be listed one by one. So, it’s worth checking back often. More auctions are planned throughout the year.
