At the moment you can browse airports by including a minimum length of runway. Would anyone else find it useful if you could search imposing a maximum length of runway? This way you could search for possible routes only suitable for planes that only need a modest runway length.

Personally, I don't see the point in this idea, as there is no maximal restriction for aircraft. Maybe other people find it more helpful. :)

Have to agree with natsirt44 that there is no point in adding this (my opinion).

If the runway length would somehow be linked to the gate lease payment or the popularity of the airport it would make more sense to me.

Also I guess that this is really hard to add to the game since the runway length is the length of the longest runway at that specific airport. This indicates that there are more runways at that airport (real life) and that there probably are shorter runways. Someone would then have to add this for all airports in the game.

However adding the option to browse for airports using a maximum ( already active) and minimum number of miles from the destination would be a nice addition to the search engine :)

I'm sorry, but i agree with Pineair.

Whats the point of showing up London City in the browse airports page, when you won't be able to fly there with an A380?

I can see how it would be useful for finding niche airports though if you don't want competition from carriers with larger aircraft :P

That's when you can fill in the minimum runway length needed by the a380 and LCY won't show up :hi: :hi:
