Even with a reduction of passengers travelling through Brisbane Airport’s International and Domestic Terminals with the impacts of COVID-19, many weird, wonderful and valuable items are still accidentally left behind by travellers.
Whilst every effort is made to return items to their rightful owners, unfortunately, many possessions remain unclaimed. Of these items, some are donated to local charities, while valuables are offered for sale to the public in our annual lost property charity auction.
Brisbane Airport runs the Lost Property Charity Auction each year. Our 2021 Auction is planned for early 2022. Sign up to our Airport eNews to be one of the first to know.
