I agree with you concerning the 'standard' aircraft but with the Short Runway Package the landing weight for any given runway length is increased by around 3,600kg and it is specifically designed to make operations from 5,000ft runways commercially viable. Having said that I shall be surprised to see 738 ops from SEN other than on an occasional basis such as the two Luxair charters to Pau that took place a year or so back.
