The airport has been renamed for FedEx founder Frederick W. Smith.

John W. Dietrich also previously served as president and CEO of Atlas Air.

The company expects to have its entire fleet active by the fourth quarter.

The FAA recently lifted a flight ban imposed following a fatal crash in Louisville, Kentucky.

The incident happened earlier this week and was made public on Thursday.

U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn joined Memphis in recognizing Smith on the national stage Thursday when she delivered remarks.

The United crew reported receiving a TCAS alert during their climb as they approached the FedEx aircraft’s altitude on Saturday.

Late FedEx founder and leader Fred Smith is remembered as a hands-on executive with an uncanny eye for aircraft deals.

On Oct. 4, 2023, FedEx flight 1376 experienced an “abnormal runway contact” when the flight crew was unable to extend the landing gear.

Negotiations between ALPA and FedEx have been underway for around four years. Their contract became amendable in November 2021.
