Direct transatlantic flights from LBAs relatively short runway!
I think you'll find BRS has a shorter runway than LBA and CO are doing it from there are they not? On the day the current runway opened did a 747 not go direct to Canada? Runway 14 has a TODA of 10,000ft plus which is why some longer flights request this for operational reasons even with a slight tailwind.Granted 7380ft is not long but look at BHX, put down a couple of 500ft starter extensions and look what you can suddenly do.
