Any transport category aircraft HAS to be able to takeoff, or reject a takeoff, safely at any airport it operates from, given the conditions at the time. If it is too heavy, or the runway is too short, or the wind is not favourable, or ???.... , you do not takeoff until you remedy the situation.

Very simple and that why Airline travel is so safe today.
