How do you define largest? Aircraft in fleet, or revenue ton miles?
UPS and FedEx argued in court that DHL was majority owned by the German Postal Service...does that make them a German company? If so, how about Atlas, the holding company for Atlas and Polar?

FEDEX all the way . I know you said except FEDEX or UPS! Just had to say that. Fedex is adding on here at IND big time. IND will be the biggest HUB for Fedex they already said that, Fedex seems to love the city. and we are not land locked like MEM. Eric

Think, revenue ton miles would make the most sense.
Bye the way, FedEx bigger (fleet and rtm) as UPS (I think so)? I am not sure, have no figures.

Very true, but I think AA and UA are even more impressive considering that neither has any all-cargo planes (as NW does) and only carries freight and cargo in the bellies of their passenger aircraft. The fact that AA and UA haul so much cargo on their regularly scheduled passenger flights is amazing, and probably due largely to AA's enormous cargo market in Latin America and UA's in Asia.

Shame UPS uses more trucks to haul air than Fed Ex. They deliver twice as much as all the Fed Ex's combined.

Quoting Aloges (Reply 13): Being they're owned by the same holding, would their numbers combined be anywhere near FedEx?
Combined, they are larger than FedEx (639K FTKs vs. 438K FTKs).

I believe Emery just went away like a bad dream. Anyone have figures on BAX? Also their DC-8s may finally soon be a thing of the past.
Any opinion/comment posted is that of my own and not that of Southwest Airlines Co.

Sort of on topic...Why is it called FedEx Express? Doesn't that really mean Federal Express Express? Never made sense to me...perhaps some FDX people can shed some light on this?

in regards to UA. do they still have any "Worldwide Cargo" planes? or did that cease to exist when they retired all their DC-10's?
did UA not make enough money to keep the DC-10 fleet flying as cargo only planes?

25 Syncmaster: United no longer operates any freighter aircraft. I'm not sure when they stopped. -Charlie
26 Fedexexpress: Fedex bought some of the UA DC 10-10 i know that cuz we have not painted them in the fedex colors yet!! Eric
27 Laxintl: The United DC-10-30F fleet was retired following Christmas 2000. UA had been using the aircraft since 1997, however due to lack of reported profitabi

29 UPS Pilot: Pan Ham is right. UPS bought Menlo this year (Former Emery) mostly for the book of business. UPS is adding freight hubs as well along with buying frei
