First, we will deploy what we call our purple tail fleet, which is our FedEx-owned assets' time for delivering high-priority, high-margin volumes using the existing hub and spoke model. This is our purple network, which will be the backbone of our international priority parcel business. Second, we will retime a portion of our purple tail flights for what we call our orange network, which will operate off-cycle. This change will give us time to build density, decongest our hubs during the precious night sword, and feed into our surface networks, including our international road network, as well as FedEx Ground and FedEx Freight in the U.S.

This provides us a differentiated capability to drive profitable, less capital-intensive growth in the sizable global deferred parcel and airfreight markets. And third, we will continue to leverage our global partner network as an adaptive capacity layer, particularly on imbalanced trade lanes. This is our white network. These changes will improve utilization of our assets, increase margins, and enhance ROIC. The air network redesign is a critical piece of our DRIVE execution at Express and will support the realization of our targeted $4 billion of total DRIVE savings in fiscal year 2025.

what they are doing is all about SEC compliance and "metrics". It is easier to run excel spreadsheets when they are broken down this way.

My un-educated opinion
