FedEx Express was established in 1971 as Federal Express and started operations on April 17, 1973. Federal Express was founded by Fred Smith, chairman of Federal Express Corporation (now known as FedEx Corporation) and began operations with 14 Dassault Falcon 20s from Memphis International Airport that connected 25 U.S. cities. The air cargo deregulation in 1977 allowed Federal Express to grow rapidly and as a result use larger aircraft. Following several international acquisitions Federal Express began overseas operations in 1984 with services to Europe and Asia |
