Sounds rather odd... Is there an actual technical / performances issue or is it more a paperwork matter ? I'd be surprised that an empty, lightly fueled 747-400 could not safely depart from a 7900 ft runway.

In any case there seems to be an aircraft dismantling operation there (Aircraft End-of-Life Solutions(AELS)) so I guess it is mostly a commercial issue.
