Alliance Municipal Airport serves Alliance, Nebraska at 3,931 ft elevation with its longest runway, 12/30, at 9,203 by 150 ft. The figures below are computed from FAA NASR runway data (via OurAirports) and the same rules of thumb JetDesk uses on the airport page in the app; the POH and current NOTAMs are the authority.

01Runways

Runway	Length × width	Surface	Lighting
12/30	9,203 × 150 ft	asphalt	lit
17/35	6,311 × 75 ft	asphalt	unlit
08/26	6,190 × 75 ft	asphalt	lit

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 3,931 ft is about 7°C. Every 1,000 ft of density altitude adds roughly 8 percent to a turboprop's takeoff distance and 5 percent to its landing distance. The table uses Piper Meridian book numbers (2,438 ft takeoff and 2,110 ft landing over a 50 ft obstacle at sea level, ISA, max weight) as a reference airplane; heavier turboprops and light jets scale the same way from their own POH figures.

Conditions	Density altitude	Takeoff est.	Landing est.	Landing × 1.5
Standard day (ISA, 7°C)	3,931 ft	3,205 ft	2,525 ft	3,787 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	5,131 ft	3,439 ft	2,651 ft	3,977 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	6,331 ft	3,673 ft	2,778 ft	4,167 ft
35°C afternoon	7,274 ft	3,857 ft	2,877 ft	4,316 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (12/30, 9,203 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (4,316 ft needed). The percentages are a generic rule of thumb applied to one reference airplane, not certified performance data for any specific aircraft, and the runway size categories describe the runway, not your airplane's suitability. Verify with the approved flight manual before every flight.

03Nearby fields with 5,000 ft or more

Useful as alternates, as fuel stops when the price at KAIA is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KAIA

No public API publishes FBO fuel prices, so JetDesk does not guess. Pilots and crews log the price they actually paid at KAIA, the app flags a price stale after two weeks, and the route finder ranks every field within a corridor of your route by net savings after the cost of the extra cycle. Log a price at KAIA or read what a fuel stop actually saves.
