FedEx Express Aircraft N273FE, alternatively known as Liam, will soon take to the skies. The aircraft was named after Liam Perumal, a 12-year-old Edenglen resident whose parents work for the company’s Johannesburg branch.

Liam was selected following a tradition that started in 1973, when the very first FedEx Express plane, a Dassault Falcon 20, was named ‘Wendy’ honouring the daughter of Frederick W Smith, the founder, chairperson and CEO of FedEx.
FedEx has over 680 planes, with Liam being the first plane to be named after a team member’s child based in Africa.
