15 of the 16 aircraft we quote for Niigata to Shanghai use both airfields and fly it non-stop. The exception is the Embraer Phenom 100EV, 12 km short after reserves on a 1,753 km leg — it would need a fuel stop. Niigata Airport has 8,200 ft and Shanghai Pudong International Airport 13,123 ft, both comfortably beyond the 6,000 ft the largest types here need, so field length is not what decides the aircraft on this route — cabin size and range are.
