Meet Tammy Loewe who is breaking barriers in airside operations. Tammy’s aviation journey started nearly 20 years ago in Brisbane Airport’s environment team. She worked across several departments before becoming an Airside Control Coordinator, where she now plays a key role in maintaining the safety and efficiency of airside operations. “When I first stepped into this role, I was one of the only women in airside operations. It was daunting, and I had moments of doubt,” she recalls. “Would I be fit and strong enough? Would I be respected? But I pushed through, learned new skills, and proved that I belonged.” Tammy is passionate about encouraging more women to consider careers in aviation, especially in operational roles. “Many women don’t even realise these roles exist. Brisbane Airport’s commitment to promoting diversity – such as its partnership with Work180 to highlight airside safety roles – has made a real difference.” Her advice to women considering a career in aviation? “Believe in yourself, own your space, and use your voice. Embrace every challenge, because that’s where growth happens.” Read more about the amazing women of Brisbane Airport: https://brnw.ch/21wRogm #BrisbaneAirport #Brisbane #Queensland #Aviation #IWD

Celebrating the women shaping Brisbane Airport - Mel Boubetra Starting at Brisbane Airport in 2007, Mel has held a variety of roles before stepping into her current position as Deputy Domestic Terminal Manager. She thrives on the fast-paced nature of terminal operations and the collaboration required to keep everything running smoothly. “It’s not just one moment, but many, that make me proud – times when my team and I have come together to overcome challenges,” she shares. “From major events like G20 to managing operations through the COVID-19 pandemic, these moments remind me of what we can achieve as a team.” Mel encourages women aspiring to leadership in aviation to trust in their own style of leadership and ensure their contributions are recognised. "Make a plan as to what you want to achieve – short-term and long-term goals. Understand your values and the goals that motivate you, and trust in your own style of leadership. Make sure that your accomplishments are visible and recognised by others. It is very easy to be modest to the detriment of your career advancement. If you don’t recognise your own self-worth and put yourself out there, no one else will."

Karen Mullen has been instrumental in driving key infrastructure projects at #BrisbaneAirport, shaping the future of the city through her pivotal role in developments like the New Parallel Runway. Karen’s career at Brisbane Airport has spanned more than 15 years, starting in the Project Team before transitioning to her current role as Project Approvals Officer. She has played a key role in major developments, including the new parallel runway project. “Being part of a team and a culture that evolves as we work towards a shared goal is incredibly rewarding. When the ribbon is cut, there’s a deep sense of pride in knowing you played a role – no matter how small – in the successful delivery of a project,” she says. She has seen the shift towards greater diversity in aviation, particularly in traditionally male-dominated roles. “When I first started, women were mostly in admin roles. Now, I see female engineers, architects, project managers – it’s proof of Brisbane Airport’s commitment to diversity.” For Karen, #InternationalWomensDay is a time to reflect on progress while acknowledging there’s still work to be done. “We are strong and have come a long way, but we still have further to go.” Read more about the amazing women of Brisbane Airport: https://brnw.ch/21wRgsJ

👏👏👏 Applause and thanks to all the airport workers for the last few days and those to come, especially for everyone out on the ramp and airside in the rain. And hat tip to the pilots and aircrew. It takes a real team effort to run a busy hub like Brisbane Airport on a normal day, let alone keep it safe and operational during a weather event not seen in our region for decades. Thanks everyone for keeping us safe, and moving! 🛬🛫✈️

If Hangar No. 7's walls could talk, they'd tell tales of classified operations and wartime secrets. During World War II, this heritage-listed structure served as a covert facility where Japanese aircraft were secretly reconstructed and studied. Today, it still stands as a memorial to Brisbane Airport's essential role during the war and its evolution alongside our city. As we celebrate our centenary, we're proud to share these important pieces of Brisbane's history, reminding us of the airport's significance in shaping our region's story.
