Our offshore ports each have a personality of their own. When you’re part of the offshore Qantas family, you might be physically apart but you’re still a close part of our team. Airports are the heart of our operation. It’s in us to be our best and we see it as our responsibility to take ownership and drive outcomes, ensuring we make a contribution to taking the organisation forward.  The work you will do will require courage.   Courage to challenge the norm, to voice opinions and present new ideas.  We take this in our stride and see it as an opportunity to do something we’ve never done before.
