This study analyzes the feasibility of operating the E190-E2 aircraft at Ulleung Airport, which has a runway length of 1,200 meters. Using aircraft manufacturer data and PACE LAB under EASA standards, takeoff and landing performance were evaluated under various environmental conditions. Results indicate that with round-trip fuel tankering, the aircraft can carry up to 106 passengers at departure and 89 at arrival under wet runway conditions. If refueling is available at Ulleung Airport, the payload capacity can increase by approximately 10 passengers. A flight test conducted at Pohang Airport supported these findings. The study suggests that minor infrastructure improvements, such as refueling facilities and limited runway extension, would make E190-E2 operations at Ulleung Airport technically feasible.
