15 of the 16 aircraft we quote for Detroit to West Palm Beach use both airfields and fly it non-stop. The exception is the Embraer Phenom 100EV, 10 km short after reserves on a 1,752 km leg — it would need a fuel stop. Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport has 12,003 ft and President Donald J. Trump International Airport 10,001 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.
