English: Aiport diagram of John F. Kennedy International aiport, as published by the FAA, containing runway and taxiway information among other aeronautical markers. Date 13 October 2016
This is a list of the shortest airport runways in the world. While most modern commercial aircraft require a paved runway of at least 6,000 feet (1,800 m) in length, many early aircraft were designed to operate from unprepared strips that could be improvised in small spaces.
The airport, which covers 5,200 acres (2,104 ha), is the largest in the New York metropolitan area. [6] [7] Over 90 airlines operate from Kennedy Airport, with nonstop or direct flights to destinations on all six inhabited continents. [8] [9] JFK is located in the Jamaica neighborhood of Queens, [10] 16 miles (26 km) southeast of Midtown ...
It has one runway designated 5/23 with a 2,280 by 28 ft (695 x 9 m) asphalt surface. For the 12-month period ending June 12, 2007, the airport had 5,709 aircraft operations, an average of 15 per day: 99.8% general aviation and <0.2% military. At that time there were 17 aircraft based at this airport: 94% single-engine and 6% ultralight. [1]
Bangor International Airport (IATA: BGR, ICAO: KBGR, FAA LID: BGR) is a joint civil-military public airport on the west side of the city of Bangor, in Penobscot County, Maine, United States. Owned and operated by the City of Bangor, the airport has a single runway measuring 11,440 by 200 ft (3,487 by 61 m).
Runway designations are shown at their respective thresholds. Since the runways are reversible, aircraft traveling on a WNW heading would be (for example) on 28R, but aircraft traveling in the opposite direction (ESE) on the same runway would be on 10L instead. T1 = Terminal 1, with boarding areas B and C; T2 = Terminal 2, with boarding area D
Republic Airport was acquired by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) on March 31, 1969. [10] [14] The MTA installed an instrument landing system (ILS) on Runway 14/32, built the terminal building at Republic Airport, and cooperated with the Federal Aviation Administration, which built the current, 100-foot (30 m) control tower.
Wellington Airport has one runway: 16/34. The runway is 1,815 m (5,955 ft) long threshold to threshold; with displaced thresholds at each end, the take-off run available is 1,945 m (6,381 ft) for runway 16 and 1,921 m (6,302 ft) for runway 34. [citation needed] The runway is grooved, which improves performance of the runway during wet conditions.
