You have entered Elvis country at Memphis International Airport, located 12 miles southeast of downtown Memphis. Travelers from around the country and the world pass through the airport while making a pilgrimage to Graceland, Elvis’ 14 acre estate, which is only a handful of miles from the airport. The airport is served by five major airlines and several regional jet services that operate out of three terminals. Northwest Airlines uses the airport as a hub and operates out of Terminal B. The other major presence at the airport is FedEx Express, which was founded at the airport in 1973. FedEx uses the airport as its “Super Hub” making it the busiest cargo airport in the world. Through the summer of 2005, travelers will encounter construction within the airport as the aging terminal facilities undergo a major renovation. But, never fear, during the renovations the Elvis-themed gift shop is still open so you can grab that final souvenir before heading home.
