What this tells you<\/h2>\n

Give it an airport and it returns the longest usable runway, the surface, the number of runways and the field elevation \u2014 then the largest cabin class that runway can realistically take. It covers every airport with an IATA code that we hold a record for, which is a little over six thousand.<\/p>\n

It exists because the question comes up constantly and is surprisingly hard to answer. People ask whether a jet can get into a particular island, ski field or private strip, and the honest answer usually starts with the runway. A 1,200 metre strip rules out most of what people imagine chartering.<\/p>\n

Where the numbers come from<\/h2>\n

Runway lengths, surfaces and field elevations come from OurAirports<\/a>, a public-domain dataset maintained by volunteers. We use only open runways, and we never count a seaplane landing area as a runway however long it is \u2014 several water aerodromes list ten thousand feet of open water, which is not a runway in any sense that matters to a jet.<\/p>\n

Before relying on it we cross-checked the dataset against four hundred airports we already held records for. Three hundred and eighty-nine agreed, none disagreed, and eleven were absent. That is good enough to publish, and not good enough to fly on \u2014 which is the distinction this page is built around.<\/p>\n

What the cabin classes mean<\/h2>\n

The class thresholds are rules of thumb for a dry, paved runway near sea level, at sensible weights. They answer a coarse question \u2014 is this obviously impossible, probably fine, or worth a conversation \u2014 and nothing finer than that.<\/p>\n

Real required distance moves with the aircraft, its weight on the day, temperature, field elevation, runway slope and condition, wind, and the obstacles on the climb-out. Elevation in particular catches people out: the same jet that is comfortable on 5,000 feet of runway at sea level may need considerably more of it in the mountains on a summer afternoon, which is why the tool flags high fields separately.<\/p>\n

What it does not tell you<\/h2>\n

Runway is necessary and not sufficient. An airport also has to be open when you want it, willing to take a non-scheduled flight, able to provide fuel and ground handling, and \u2014 on an international leg \u2014 staffed for customs and immigration. Some fields are private, some are military, some require prior permission, and a few are seasonal. Slot and permit lead times are a separate question again, and in parts of Asia they set the earliest possible departure rather than the aircraft does.<\/p>\n

So treat a green answer here as “worth asking about”, not as a clearance. Before any flight is offered, the operator calculates the actual performance figures for the actual aircraft on the actual day, and we confirm the airport will accept the movement. That check is free and usually takes minutes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
