MEMPHIS, Tenn., March 5, 2007—FedEx Express, a unit of FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX), is increasing the reach of its FedEx International Priority Freight service to cover more than 130 countries and is significantly enhancing its domestic FedEx Express Freight service.

FedEx Express Freight is a time-definite, premium airfreight service for domestic and international palletized shipments weighing more than 150 lbs. It also is available for shipments exceeding normal size restrictions. All FedEx Express Freight services are backed by the FedEx Money-Back Guarantee.
