Does FedEx travel by plane?

FedEx Express operates the world's largest cargo air fleet with more than 650 aircraft, and is the largest operator of the Airbus A300, ATR 42, Cessna 208, DC-10/MD-10, and the MD-11.



Yes, FedEx is world-renowned for its massive aviation division, FedEx Express, which operates the world's largest cargo air fleet. As of 2026, the fleet consists of more than 700 aircraft, ranging from massive wide-body jets like the Boeing 777F and McDonnell Douglas MD-11 to smaller "feeder" aircraft like the Cessna 408 SkyCourier. Their global "SuperHub" is located at Memphis International Airport, where hundreds of planes arrive and depart nightly in a tightly choreographed "sort" operation. FedEx uses planes to meet their time-definite, "next-day" delivery promises across more than 220 countries and territories. This air network allows them to transport everything from critical medical supplies and high-tech components to everyday consumer goods across continents in a matter of hours, rather than the days or weeks required by ground or sea transport.
