Used to operate 200/300/400/500 there and now 700. Landing distance not a problem unless the weight is high. There were times when it was 'tight' having enough fuel on landing in a full 400 to have enough to divert and with a wet runway/heavy aircraft we required the use of a particular runway direction. Only once in my memory did I have to limit payload for a wet runway there. From memory 09 was the better for landing weight? Haven't been for a while. Flap 40, autobrake on 2 and the usual precise touchdown point and speed.

The 737 is a good 'stopper'.
