15 of the 16 aircraft we quote for Prestwick to Riga use both airfields and fly it non-stop. The exception is the Embraer Phenom 100EV, 19 km short after reserves on a 1,759 km leg — it would need a fuel stop. Glasgow Prestwick Airport has 9,800 ft and Riga International Airport 10,499 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.
