I wouldnt doubt that either. Corks runway 35/17 is almost 7000ft and the main runway at St Maarten is 7150ft. They manage to fly heavies in and out of there all day long. So I could imagine they wouldnt have a problem flying most in and out of there. Is there room for a 1000ft extension? Either which way its up to CAA to market the place properly there is a huge amount of potential to attract a US carrier.
