Memphis International Airport is the major airport serving the city of Memphis, Tennessee, in the US. While Memphis is an important passenger airport in the region, Memphis International is most recognised as being the largest cargo airport in the world. It is the major hub of logistics giant FedEx, which locates its "SuperHub" at the airport and baes several hundred freighter aircraft here which operate to destinations around the world. Delta Air Lines the largest passenger operator at Memphis.

US Airways solidifies hub strategy with new Washington National flights

26-Mar-12 4:31 PM

US Airways has embarked on the last phase of a strategy to ensure the majority of its flights are operated in profitable markets and 99% of flights touch the carrier’s hubs or its eastern shuttle routes. The first roll-out of service to 22 new markets from Washington National Airport culminates a two-year effort by Delta Air Lines and US Airways to engineer a slot swap that resulted in US Airways gaining 42 slot pairs at National and Delta gaining 132 pairs at New York LaGuardia from US Airways. Once all the phases of new flights from National are complete, US Airways is banking on an annual USD75 million contribution to its revenue as it further cements its position as the leading carrier at the airport closest to the US capital.

From Cincinnati to Memphis: high fares and diminished service for smaller US hubs

14-Oct-11 12:25 PM

In our analysis of airports across the US over the past year, we have observed the decline of three previous hubs – Cincinnati, Pittsburgh and St Louis – and the dramatic changes that have accompanied their loss of status. Given its precarious location amidst other Delta Air Lines hubs, we speculated that Memphis could meet a similar fate. Delta this week announced that it will introduce further cutbacks from 04-Jan-2012 when it plans to drop seven more destinations and 15 flights. In this group is Seattle, leaving only Los Angeles with non-stop service on the west coast. Mainline Delta service is an ever-more endangered species.

FedEx cargo props up Memphis airport, but Delta cuts lower passenger traffic

23-Aug-11 10:58 AM

In our examination of US hubs, Memphis stood out as its geography makes it vulnerable to being downsized. The latest announcements from Delta make that outcome more plausible.

Delta announces 25% reduction in operations at Memphis

24-Mar-11 2:55 PM

In Apr-2010 while profiling US hubs, CAPA looked at Delta’s hub in Memphis (MEM). At that time we speculated that Memphis as a hub was vulnerable if reductions were to be made. Yesterday, Delta announced a 25% reduction in operations at MEM.

World Airport Rankings 2010: Hong Kong eclipses Memphis as the world’s busiest cargo hub

16-Mar-11 3:43 PM

It’s official: Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) is the world’s busiest cargo hub – ending Memphis International Airport’s 18-year reign at the top of the world rankings. HKIA’s rise to the top reflects surging exports from China’s Pearl River Delta, while Hong Kong-based Cathay Pacific became the world’s largest international air cargo carrier last year, overtaking Korean Air.

Delta Air Lines CEO, Richard Anderson Delta contributes to US regional consolidation - selling Mesaba and Compass

2-Jul-10 5:09 PM

As part of efforts to focus on its core mainline business, Delta is continuing the process of unbundling its regional operations, selling Mesaba and Compass – both acquired with Northwest – to Pinnacle Airlines Corp and Trans States Airlines, respectively, for USD82 million. The proceeds from these transactions will be used by Delta for general corporate purposes.
