MEM Memphis

How deep the MEM board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from MEM. This reads the same 86 destinations back for the questions a dispatcher asks second: how much of the board rests on one airline, how much of it runs less than daily, whether the return leg is as thick as the outbound and what the clock here does to a Gulf working day, all of it computed on 2026-09-07 from AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics.

• 60of the 86 destinations are flown by one airline
• 62destinations run less than once a day
• 7destinations have four or more departures a day
• 16.3%of the destinations name NetJets Aviation, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at MEM

46 airlines appear on the MEM board and they do not hold it evenly. NetJets Aviation is on 14 of the 86 destinations, 16.3 per cent of them, and on 5 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 17.1 of the 100.6 departures a day this airport files, though other airlines fly some of the same sectors, so read that as reach rather than as a share of the aircraft.

The next largest presence is Delta Air Lines on 9 destinations. 23 of the 46 airlines at MEM appear on a single destination each, which is the long tail every airport carries, and none of it is a rebooking option when the sector you need is the one that fell over.

No airline holds more than 16.3 per cent of the destinations here, which is the more comfortable shape of the two. A cancellation at a spread airport is usually a rebooking rather than a lost day, provided the sector itself carries more than one operator, and 60 of the 86 sectors at MEM do not.

How much of the MEM board is daily

Of the 86 destinations, 24 are flown at least once a day and 62 are not, 22 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the MEM board is flown 3 times a week.

An average of 0.14 flights a day is the schedule statistic, and it is worth translating it before anything is promised to anybody: MEM to West Palm Beach (PBI) is about one a week, so a missed departure there is not a delay of hours, it is the next slot.

The five busiest destinations carry 37.6 of the 100.6 departures a day, 37.4 per cent of the whole board. With 72.1 per cent of the 86 destinations running less than daily, this is a board that rewards booking the outbound before the collection is confirmed rather than after.

The ten destinations out of MEM where one airline holds the sector and files fewer than seven departures a week, with the weekly figure taken as the average daily rate multiplied by seven rather than as a fixed timetable. 39 further destinations sit in the same position and are listed in the board above.

The way back from MEM

The desk holds the return direction for 31 of the 86 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On five of them the return into MEM runs thinner than the outbound by more than a quarter. The widest gaps are Columbus (CMH) at 0.29 out a day against 0.14 back, Dallas (DAL) at 2.6 out a day against 1.4 back and Birmingham (BHM) at 0.43 out a day against 0.29 back.

It runs the other way as well: Portland (PDX) files 0.86 a day back into MEM against 0.43 outbound, which is the shape that strands a courier at this end rather than at the far end.

The clock at MEM

MEM keeps America/Chicago time, nine hours behind Dubai in summer and ten hours behind in winter, because the clock here moves and the Gulf clock does not.

When it is 09:00 on a Dubai working morning it is 00:00 at MEM, and a nine to six day at each end does not overlap at all, so an instruction written in Dubai is read here on the following working day unless somebody is woken up.

Where MEM turns up on the rest of this site

The airport also sits behind the United States country desk, which sets out the customs practice, the working week and the road legs behind this airport.

The site publishes 3 airport pair pages that start or end at MEM, each with the distance, the block time, the carriers on the sector and a door to door clock. The busiest are Memphis to New York (LGA), Memphis to Charlotte (CLT) and Memphis to Houston (IAH).

Four courier postings name MEM as the airport a courier here flies from: Memphis, Jonesboro and Jackson.

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with MEM already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 86 destinations above.
