15 of the 16 aircraft we quote for Panama City to San Juan use both airfields and fly it non-stop. The exception is the Embraer Phenom 100EV, 45 km short after reserves on a 1,780 km leg — it would need a fuel stop. Tocumen International Airport has 10,006 ft and Luis Munoz Marin International Airport 10,002 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.
