FedEx Express to Acquire Boeing 777 Freighters
Company Cancels A380 Order

MEMPHIS, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FedEx Express, a unit of FedEx Corp.
(NYSE: FDX), announced today an agreement with The Boeing Company (NYSE: BA)
to acquire 15 new Boeing 777 Freighter aircraft with options to purchase an
additional 15 aircraft. The decision to purchase the 777F was made after Airbus
announced significant delays in delivery of the A380. FedEx Express notified
Airbus that it has cancelled its order for 10 A380-800Fs.

"Global demand for air cargo and express services continues to grow rapidly
and FedEx has made significant investments in our network to meet customers
needs and fulfill our business objectives. Therefore, it was necessary and
prudent for us to acquire the Boeing 777 Freighter." said Frederick W. Smith,
chairman, president and chief executive officer, FedEx Corp. The availability
and delivery timing of this aircraft, coupled with its attractive payload
range and economics, make this choice the bestdecision for FedEx,
its customers, shareowners and employees.

FedEx Express continues to be Airbus' largest wide-body airplane customer
and will add additional new and used Airbus wide-body aircraft to its fleet
in coming years. Six new A300-600 aircraft are scheduled to join the FedEx
fleet in 2007.
