Delivery Service

A Brief History

On April 17, 1973, The first Interglobe Carriers planes left Memphis and delivered 186 packages to 25 cities across the United States (U.S.). In the 50 years since that day, FedEx has helped shape the global economy by connecting communities and transforming the way businesses exchange goods, services, and ideas.

Today, the Interglobe Carriers has the most extensive transportation network in the world, providing service to more than 220 countries and territories, employing more than 10,000 people, and delivering millions of packages a day. That growth, in turn, has streamlined international trade and supported economic development in the regions that Interglobe Carriers serves. The INTERGLOBE CARRIERS shipping and logistics services are an integral part of the global supply chain and help businesses of all sizes reach more customers. The company’s revenues, capital investments, and spending with suppliers boost local gross domestic product (GDP) and support local job creation. We call these contributions the INTERGLOBE Effect.

The Interglobe Carriers launched with the vision that a connected world is a better world. The positive economic impact detailed in this report demonstrates the concrete ways that greater connection opens up new opportunities to improve people’s lives. Looking ahead, we believe that creating an even more connected and sustainable future will strengthen the INTERGLOBE Effect for team members, customers, suppliers, and communities around the world.
