It also helps to meet our internal communication needs.

We own or lease over 1,000 package operating facilities in the U.S., with approximately 68 million square feet of floor space. The smaller of these facilities have vehicles and drivers stationed for the pickup and delivery of packages, and capacity to sort and transfer packages. The larger of these facilities also service our vehicles and equipment, and employ specialized mechanical installations for the sorting and handling of packages. We own or lease approximately 800 facilities that support our international package operations, with approximately 20 million square feet of floor space.

In addition, we own or lease more than 500 facilities, with approximately 34 million square feet of floor space, that support our freight forwarding and logistics operations. We own and operate a logistics campus consisting of approximately 4 million square feet in Louisville, Kentucky.
