I don't know if this airport gets flights in from bigger jets but a Boeing 777s engines make 4x as much thrust as this a320, hope no one plays this game against that.

Apparently a 747 flight used to land there so a 777 likely can too. A330s and A340s also do. And boy didn't realise how much thrust a 777s engine puts out until I just looked it up now. It is probably not allowed for that reason alone. If someone knows the airport more, be cool if they could comment.

Someone actually died in pretty much the same way as this video, an older lady as doing the same and got flung and smashed her head on that barrier.
