Has a 737 ever landed at Donegal airport?

    It might just make it but have you factored in the weights eg Fuel/Luggage/Passengers?

    I Just googled some figures and it would seem to my untrained eye that it would be just possible to land a 737 on Carrickfinn’s 1,500 m (4,900 ft)

    Has it been done?

    Possibly as a bet.

    Id be safer doing it in a BAe/RJ146 if anything.

    Or Airbus A319 (the Pocket Rocket).

    Even if it were possible to land a 737 there the question remains would it be possible to take off from there ?

    Yes is the answer to both questions, but would it be safe and legal,that's another matter:cool:

    Presume you mean a 735?

    Yes there is indeed a difference between possible and legal. I suspect also that the runway may be too narrow. Also it and the ramp area may not be designed to take the weight.

    Realistically a new runway would be needed.
