15 of the 16 aircraft we quote for New York to Kansas City use both airfields and fly it non-stop. The exception is the Embraer Phenom 100EV, 53 km short after reserves on a 1,786 km leg — it would need a fuel stop. John F. Kennedy International Airport has 14,511 ft and Kansas City International Airport 10,801 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.
