Runway Capabilities
Le Castellet operates a single runway of approximately 1,750 meters, which defines the operational limits of the airport. This runway allows full flexibility for light jets, standard operations for midsize jets, and restricted operations for larger aircraft depending on weight. From a performance perspective, takeoff distance requirements increase with payload, range may be limited for longer routes, and aircraft selection must align with the mission profile. Environmental factors such as temperature and elevation can further influence performance. Our aviation specialists at Zadra perform detailed calculations to ensure that aircraft operate within safe margins.
