The Mikhael Family’s Journey at Qantas
Across the Group, we have many examples of generations working together. Nizar and Sarina Mikhael are one father-daughter duo who know exactly what it’s like, working together as Customer Service Agents at our Sydney Domestic and International Terminals. They reflected on their family connection to Qantas.
'Working at Qantas has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life, and having my daughter join me on this journey has made it even more meaningful. It’s an incredible feeling to see our small family become part of the larger Qantas family. The values, camaraderie, and dedication we share at Qantas mirror the same principles we uphold at home. I’m proud to work alongside my daughter, and I’m grateful to be part of a company that feels like an extension of our family.'
- Nizar
'Growing up, I heard countless stories about the Qantas life, and it always felt like a part of our family. Joining Qantas was a natural choice for me because I was already living the Qantas life through my dad’s passion and dedication. Now, working together, I see firsthand the values he talked about, and it makes me even more proud to be his daughter and a part of the Qantas family.'
- Sarina
