15 of the 16 aircraft we quote for Puerto Vallarta to Tijuana use both airfields and fly it non-stop. The exception is the Embraer Phenom 100EV, 20 km short after reserves on a 1,760 km leg — it would need a fuel stop. Puerto Vallarta International Airport has 10,171 ft and Brown Field Municipal Airport 7,972 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.
