15 of the 16 aircraft we quote for Rio De Janeiro to Recife use both airfields and fly it non-stop. The exception is the Embraer Phenom 100EV, 144 km short after reserves on a 1,859 km leg — it would need a fuel stop. Rio Galeão – Tom Jobim International Airport has 13,123 ft and Recife/Guararapes - Gilberto Freyre International Airport 9,865 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.
