Having flown the B727 and B757 into TGU since 1995 I have never needed the last 1,000 feet of runway 02 in over 500 landings. None of the approaches were marginal where I felt any concern of the outcome. In the last 10 years only two airliners have had a problem. Both were Airbuses, one about 9 years ago that slid off the runway into a ditch cocked 150 degrees to the left in a ditch at the very end before the cliff and the latest one. The other US carrier that flies in there is a B737 with no incidents. I am very sorry to see that no larger airliners will be allowed into TGU because of this crash. I believe the first one was a Taca A310. It will be interesting to see what automation had to do with this one. TGU was my favorite airport and am sorry it may be just a part of aviation history.
