15 of the 16 aircraft we quote for Denver to Columbus use both airfields and fly it non-stop. The exception is the Embraer Phenom 100EV, 137 km short after reserves on a 1,853 km leg — it would need a fuel stop. Denver International Airport has 16,000 ft and John Glenn Columbus International Airport 10,114 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.
