Since 2014, the airport has raised funds for Orbis by hosting a foreign currency globe in its departure lounge. Individuals travelling through the busy airport can make financial donations, big or small, using the currency of their choice.
Since the partnership began, the airport has raised over £10,000 for Orbis with more than £2,600 through over 150kg of donated coins in 2018 alone!
Whilst also supporting a charity that is local to the airport, Southampton International Airport is proud to support Orbis UK with its power to harness aviation for good through the Flying Eye Hospital.
