FedEx flew from Memphis International Airport to Teterboro Airport on June 11, 2026, a 2-hour 33-minute trip aboard the company’s Bombardier Challenger 300, tail number N43FE.

The same week, FedEx pilots voted to ratify a new collective bargaining agreement with the company, according to a June 9 announcement from the FedEx newsroom [newsroom.fedex.com](https://newsroom.fedex.com/newsroom/global-english/fedex-reaches-agreement-with-pilots). The industry-leading agreement, which covers approximately 5,000 pilots and takes effect June 29, was described by chief operating officer Richard W. Smith as “a positive milestone” for the airline’s future. Teterboro, located just outside New York City, is a frequent destination for executives visiting investors, regulators, or the company’s Northeast regional offices.

The trip follows a FedEx flight on June 10 that traveled from near St. Louis to the Memphis area, suggesting the jet repositioned for this executive itinerary. FedEx continues to spin off its FedEx Freight division into an independent public company, a restructuring completed on June 1 and now trading under ticker FDXF [newsroom.fedex.com](https://newsroom.fedex.com/newsroom/global-english/fedex-completes-spin-off-of-fedex-freight). The memo: a quiet flight to the New York market, carrying no cargo but plenty of corporate context.
