Memphis International Airport (IATA: MEM, ICAO: KMEM, FAA LID: MEM) is a
public airport located three miles (5 km) south of the central business district
of Memphis, a city in Shelby County, Tennessee, United States. It is owned and
operated by the Memphis - Shelby County Airport Authority.
Northwest Airlines operates its third-largest passenger hub in Memphis, with
routes to a number of destinations in North America, as well as a daily nonstop
flight to Amsterdam. Memphis is also home to FedEx's "World Hub," which
processes a large amount of the freight carrier's packages. Because of FedEx's
hub, Memphis has the largest cargo operations of any airport worldwide. Memphis
is also home to United Parcel Service's third-largest sorting facility.
History
Memphis Municipal Airport opened on a 200 acre (0.8 km²) plot of farmland just
over seven miles (10 km) from downtown Memphis. During its early years, the
airport consisted of three hangars and an unpaved runway. Passenger and air mail
service was provided by American Airways and Chicago and Southern Air Lines. In
1939, four new carriers won route awards to serve Memphis: Braniff Airways,
Capital Airlines, Eastern Air Lines, and Southern Airways.
The current terminal was built in 1963, and Memphis Municipal changed its name
to Memphis International in 1969. However, the airport had no non-stop
international routes until 1995, when KLM began service to Amsterdam - this
service is now operated by Northwest Airlines.
FedEx established its freight hub in Memphis in 1973, and Republic Airlines
established a passenger hub in 1985, which was absorbed into Northwest in 1986.
