"It is not an alternate airport for the B737-800. Emergencies only."
Complete BS. I have landed there 3 times in a 737 when a Ejet went U/S. only issue is pavement concession which the company sorts out. 4 movements in 7 days "range" in PCN/ACN.
Derfred is referring to QF approved airports. YMIA is Category C for us, which means you wouldn't normally use it as an alternate, but is approved in an emergency. Virgin is obviously different if the 737 goes there on a semi-regular basis.
