RWY length requirements
Hi. This has nothing to do with my work at SV nor do I have any professional interest in this question whatsoever (so please feel free to reprimand me if I've used the wrong forum).
Here goes... when Michael O'Leary announced his long haul plans for a Ryanair "spin-off" he spoke of smaller airports outside of major US cities.
Airports I suspect such as Islip-Long Island McArthur or White Plains-Westchester County for new York in addition to Manchester-NH for Boston.
Long Island has a RWY length of 2100 meter with White Plains closer to 1950 mtrs.
As an accountant with a PPL my knowledge of Runway length is very small and we obviously do not work with such information in Yield Analysis so here comes the question - are these small airports large enough to physically handle long haul aircraft like the 787s that O'Leary has spoken of?
