My compliant is that there are some planes that land at an airport in real life that can't land at an airport in AE because of runway length. For example a DC-9 can't fly MIA to key west while in real life delta flys a 737-800 from Atlanta to key west. In Toncontin American airlines flies a 757, delta and united fly 737 and Aviance flies a320s. But in AE you can't fly 757 or DC-9 to the airport. Is this a bug or not?

DC-9-20s are able to fly into Key West in the game.  The other variations cannot though.  While a 737-800 can't fly into Key West like you mentioned, you can land a 737-700 there.  A quick look at Wikipedia shows that the runway length is correct, so any 737-800 that is flying there for real is definitely not carrying a full load.

 

As for Tegucigalpa-Tocontin, you can fly DC-9-10s & DC-9-20s there. You can also fly there with a 757-200, but it will depend on which engine type you choose.  The most fuel efficient engine options require more runway, but you can still get there with a 757, which is true to real life.

Ok. The 737-800 do have a weight restriction. I didn't think much about the engines, thats a good point. Thanks for helping me out.
