FAEL Safe Ops for jets like B737-800s, MD80's, A319 etc???

Hi, I’m no pilot, but something been bugging me for a while now, I regularly fly to FAEL from FAJS with various LCCs or our very own pvt but government funded state airline, is the 2 runways actually a little short for these types of aircraft listed above? always seems like they use the entire length of the runway to stop, although admittedly they normally do "plonk" you down hard & firmly on the runway, this is obviously to dissipate some of the inertia etc?

look forward to the comments!!
