KMEM is the ICAO code for Memphis International Airport (IATA MEM), located in Memphis, TN.
Memphis International Airport (KMEM) sits 7 miles southeast of downtown Memphis. Commercial service is modest in the current era (Delta is the dominant carrier) but the field handles the largest FedEx cargo superhub in the world — overnight FedEx operations dominate the activity from roughly 1900 to 0500 local — alongside a meaningful flow of business aviation. For Memphis-area private aviation, KOLV (Olive Branch, 14 miles southeast in Mississippi) is the dedicated GA reliever.
The four runways at KMEM (18L/36R 11,120 ft, 18C/36C 9,320 ft, 18R/36L 11,120 ft, 9/27 8,946 ft) handle every current business jet without restriction. Wilson Air Center operates the principal private terminal. Field elevation is 341 feet, no density-altitude concerns. The dominant operational considerations are the FedEx overnight cargo rush (which constrains some night-time GA movements), summer thunderstorms, occasional severe spring weather, and the standard Mid-South weather pattern. KMEM makes sense for private aviation primarily for major-airport VIP arrivals, large-cabin charters, and the structural event-driven flow (the Memphis Grizzlies, AutoZone Liberty Bowl, the FedEx St. Jude Championship, the BBQ Festival). Ground time to downtown Memphis is 15–25 minutes; Beale Street is 20.
Memphis International Airport is a civil–military airport located seven miles (11 km) southeast of downtown Memphis in Shelby County, Tennessee, United States. It is the primary international airport serving Memphis. It covers 3,900 acres (1,600 ha) and has four runways.
