Fedex, 1

The company was founded as Federal Express in 1971 by honorably discharged U.S. Marine Fred Smith in Little Rock, Arkansas, but moved to Memphis, Tennessee in 1973 after Little Rock airport officials would not agree to provide facilities for the fledgling airline. The name was chosen to symbolize a national marketplace, and help in obtaining government contracts.

The company officially began operations on April 17, 1973, utilizing a network of 14 Dassault Falcon 20s which connected 25 U.S. cities. FedEx, the first cargo airline that used only jet aircraft for its services, expanded greatly after the deregulation of the cargo airlines sector. Federal Express' use of the hub-spoke distribution paradigm in air freight enabled it to become a world leader in its field.



The company operates much of its U.S. overnight freight through its Memphis hub. Other U.S. hubs are located in Indianapolis, Indiana; Newark, New Jersey; Oakland, California; Anchorage, Alaska; Fort Worth, Texas; Los Angeles International Airport; Miami, Florida; Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport; and, soon, Greensboro, North Carolina. The Canadian hub operates from Toronto Pearson International Airport.
