What is the biggest plane that can fly out of EYW?

Hello everyone! I was wondering what is the biggest plane that could realistically fly out of Key West International Airport (EYW)? Please let me know, thank you!

I’ll guess is the A319/A320. You can check the planes used on each real routes with these webs:

Ifatc.org is a great resource for this. It although its not always accurate it gives you a good reference point. :)

Realistically, Key West can fit up to an A321/B739, nothing larger than this, though most flights into EYW are operated with the A319/B737/E175.

Yes. I have been there in real life, and will be working there this summer. The biggest planes are as was said above, E175s, A319s (no A320s), and B737s (No 738s).

If I recall correct, for the 737-700 and the A319, there are also weight restrictions for them. Please don’t be the type of person who thinks its the entire 737/A320 family, the restrictions are very specific and precise.

Yeah I know there’s type/weight restrictions for the 737 and A319 but I wasn’t sure, thanks for pointing that out @Aceorbit and @Joseph_Spinner!

A319. The 737-700 is (slightly) smaller. However, I am interested to know what aircraft JetBlue is gonna use when it starts operations there this year. I am guessing the E190 or A220.

Currently JetBlue uses the E190 at EYW!
