15 of the 16 aircraft we quote for Asmara to Cairo use both airfields and fly it non-stop. The exception is the Embraer Phenom 100EV, 93 km short after reserves on a 1,818 km leg — it would need a fuel stop. Asmara International Airport has 9,842 ft and Cairo International Airport 13,124 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.
