I lived in the Gulf . Qatar way back in the 70s, Gulf air , the then pan gulf regional airline who had a fleet of Bac 1-11 and F27s. In Qatar for the wind is pretty negligible much of the year and the F27s -like all turbo props can stop on a sixpence would fly a loooong way down the runway before making a late touchdown . The terminal was close to one end of the runway and the runway was 18000 feet long. Taxiing for about 15000 ft would probably take close to the same as the flight time from Bahrain
