All-cargo carriers continue to have a significant impact at the
Airport, making the Airport one of the few dual-purpose airports in the
country. Fifteen all-cargo airlines handled slightly more than 98% of
the nearly 2.7 million tons of cargo at the Airport in fiscal year
2000. The Airport
has maintained its #1 ranking in the world for total air cargo handled
since
1992, according to statistics reported by Airports Council
International, Geneva, Switzerland.
Federal Express Corporation ("FedEx"), the world's largest express
transportation company, is headquartered in Memphis and operates its
primary overnight package sorting facility at the Airport. FedEx
continues to dominate the cargo business at the Memphis International
Airport, transporting approximately 95% of all cargo handled at the
Memphis International Airport last year. FedEx's share of cargo at the
Memphis International Airport has been at least 95% since 1992. This
activity keeps the Airport active twenty-four hours a day.
