15 of the 16 aircraft we quote for Cartagena to Fort Lauderdale use both airfields and fly it non-stop. The exception is the Embraer Phenom 100EV, 77 km short after reserves on a 1,805 km leg — it would need a fuel stop. Rafael Nuñez International Airport has 8,530 ft and Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport 9,000 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.
