I bought an iphone SE at an airport lost and found auction and when I got home found it to be blacklisted, can this be removed?

As far as I know, no.
The phone belongs to the insurance company that paid out on the loss.
Not sure how you would go about resolving this...

It can't be resolved. Unless you get in touch with the people who ran the Airport auction and ask for a refund.

Pretty stupid of any airport to include mobiles in auctions actually. The first thing anyone would do on losing a phone, would be to ring their insurance company who would block the phone immediately.

If it's a UK airport you may want to raise that point.

A lesson learned, @Paul2019. Hopefully not an expensive one. You should take the advice of @Cleoriff and go back to the airport auction sellers, if you can.

In future, the best place to get a used phone is from bona fide recycle companies, like CEX. You're more likely to get what you paid for.
