Federal Express leases these facilities from the Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority (the “Authority”). The lease obligates Federal Express to maintain and insure the leased property and to pay all related taxes, assessments, and other charges. The lease is subordinate to, and Federal Express’s rights thereunder could be affected by, any future lease or agreement between the Authority and the U.S. government.
Federal Express has additional major international sorting and freight handling facilities located at Narita Airport in Tokyo and Stansted Airport outside London. Federal Express also has a substantial presence at airports in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Dubai. A central air hub near Liege, Belgium connects specific large European markets. Additionally, central European road hubs are located in Duiven, The Netherlands and Novara, Italy, respectively.
As of May 31, 2025, Federal Express owned or leased approximately 650 facilities for city station operations in the U.S. As of May 31, 2025, Federal Express owned or leased approximately 1,150 additional sorting and distribution centers in the U.S. and 100 sorting and distribution centers in Canada that support its U.S. and Canada surface operations.
