Guys, the length is 877m, it was 880m but it seems to have shrunk 3m in the last year! Unrestricted ops = twin otter. Let410 = forget it. Do228 will NOT operate off ACI unrestricted. I did a feasibility study for a new company some years ago, the Do228 only works if everything is going your way, ie dry runway, ISA, and +15kts straight down the runway. Something that doesn't happen here very often, in fact we took the previous winter's metars, plugged the numbers in, and we would have diverted 28% of the inbound flights to GCI. No use to anyone. The project died in the end because airport management refused to even consider regular Do228 flights as, and I quote, "it would breakup the tarmac".
I do agree that ACI needs turboprops however it has to have 1200mtrs of tarmac first. The Tris are well past their sell by date - can't wait to see them go - whilst I still have a bit of hearing left.
