15 of the 16 aircraft we quote for Los Angeles to Kelowna use both airfields and fly it non-stop. The exception is the Embraer Phenom 100EV, 48 km short after reserves on a 1,782 km leg — it would need a fuel stop. Los Angeles International Airport has 12,894 ft and Kelowna International Airport 8,900 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.
