We utilize certain aircraft, land, facilities, retail locations, and equipment under finance and operating leases that expire at various dat es through 2060. We leased 2% of our total aircraft fleet under operating leases as of May 31, 2022 and 3% as of May 31, 2021. A portion of our supplemental aircraft are leased by us under agreements that provide for cancellation upon 30 days’ notice. Our leased facilities include national, regional, and metropolitan sorting facilities; retail facilities; and administrative buildings. A summary of future minimum lease payments under noncancelable operating and finance leases with an initial or remaining term in excess of one year at May 31, 2022 is as follows (in millions):

While certain of our lease agreements contain covenants governing the use of the leased assets or require us to maintain certain levels of insurance, none of our lease agreements include material financial covenants or limitations. As of May 31, 2022, FedEx has entered into additional leases which have not yet commenced and are therefore not part of the right-of-use a sset and liability. These leases are generally for build-to-suit facilities and have undiscounted future payments of approximately $3.4 billion and will commence when FedEx gains beneficial access to the leased asset. Commencement dates are expected to be from 2023 to 2024. FedEx Express makes payments under certain leveraged operating leases that are sufficient to pay principal and interest on certain pass-through certificates. The pass-through certificates are not direct obligations of, or guaranteed by, FedEx or FedEx Express. We are the lessee under certain operating leases covering a portion of our leased aircraft in which the lessors are trusts established specifically to purchase, finance, and lease these aircraft to us. These leasing entities are variable interest entities. We are not the primary beneficiary of the leasing entities, as the lease terms are at market at the inception of the lease and do not include a residual value guarantee, fixed-price purchase option, or similar feature that obligates us to absorb decreases in value or entitles us to participate in increases in the value of the aircraft. Therefore, we are not required to consolidate any of these entities as the primary beneficiary. Our maximum exposure under these leases is included in the summary of future minimum lease payments.
