FedEx Express is the world's largest cargo airline by freight tons flown and operates the largest cargo aircraft fleet in the world with over 650 aircraft. Headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, FedEx Express is the aviation subsidiary of FedEx Corporation and pioneered the hub-and-spoke overnight delivery model that revolutionized the express shipping industry.

Founded in 1971 by Frederick W. Smith, the company began operations on April 17, 1973, with fourteen Dassault Falcon 20 jets connecting twenty-five U.S. cities. That first night, just 186 packages were carried. Today, FedEx Express moves millions of packages daily, serving more than 220 countries and territories worldwide.

The company's iconic purple and orange aircraft are a familiar sight at airports around the globe. FedEx Express employs over 530,000 people and operates one of the most sophisticated logistics networks ever created.
