 History

 
Fourteen small aircraft flying out of Memphis International Airport, to deliver a total of 186 packages, on the night of April 17, 1973, heralded the official birth of FedEx Express, a company first conceived in 1965 in a paper written by a Yale undergraduate named Frederick W. Smith.
FedEx Express is the world's largest express transportation company, providing fast and reliable delivery to every U.S. address and to more than 220 countries and territories. FedEx Express uses a global air-and-ground network to speed delivery of time-sensitive shipments, usually in one to two business days with the delivery time guaranteed.
