MHT\'s runways
Manchester NH (MHT) is set to open a 9250' runway (17/35) next month and I'm wondering if any of you in the know could settle a dispute I'm having with my friend.
I say the whole point of extending the runway (from 7000' to 9250') is to accomodate a 747 for when MHT decides to become a true international airport (it sort of is already with Air Canada flying in daily). He says there's no way a 747 can use a 9250' runway.
Can 9250' accomodate a 747 or at least a MD11/777 size aircraft?
Thanks in advance to all who reply!
