Memphis International Airport (MEM/KMEM) (Memphis, Tennessee)

 international airport  Add category

Memphis International Airport (IATA: MEM, ICAO: KMEM) is a joint civil-military airport which has become America's largest cargo airport due to the presence of FedEx Express' "SuperHub" air cargo facility on the Northern edge of the airport. Formerly a Northwest Airlines hub, it is now Delta Air Lines fifth largest hub.

Memphis International Airport has three concourses which are all connected as part of the same building. Passengers check in at signs marked Terminal A, B, or C which generally but do not necessarily represent the concourse where they will be directed for their gate. Due to triskaidekaphobia, there are no gates designated A13, B13, or C13.

The 164th Airlift Wing Tennessee Air National Guard is based out of Memphis International Airport and operates the Lockheed C-5A Galaxy transport aircraft.
