15 of the 16 aircraft we quote for New York to New Orleans use both airfields and fly it non-stop. The exception is the Embraer Phenom 100EV, 198 km short after reserves on a 1,902 km leg — it would need a fuel stop. John F. Kennedy International Airport has 14,511 ft and Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport 10,104 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.
