Federal Express’s primary sorting facility, which serves as the center of its multiple hub-and-spoke system and worldwide air network, is located at the Memphis International Airport. Federal Express’s facilities at the Memphis International Airport also include aircraft hangars, aircraft ramp areas, vehicle parking areas, flight training and fuel facilities, the FedEx Cold Chain Center, administrative offices, and warehouse space.

Federal Express leases these facilities from the Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority (the “Authority”). The lease obligates Federal Express to maintain and insure the leased property and to pay all related taxes, assessments, and other charges. The lease is subordinate to, and Federal Express’s rights thereunder could be affected by, any future lease or agreement between the Authority and the U.S. government.

Federal Express has additional major international sorting and freight handling facilities located at Narita Airport in Tokyo and Stansted Airport outside London. Federal Express also has a substantial presence at airports in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Dubai. A

See the “Business Segments — Federal Express” section of “Item 1. Business” for information regarding the ongoing consolidation of these operations. The leased facilities have a variety of lease term lengths and are strategically located to cover the geographic area served by the U.S. and Canada Surface operations of Federal Express. The facilities range in size from approximately 1,000 to 1,160,000 square feet, with an average size of approximately 130,000 square feet.
