At Honolulu International (HNL), a few years ago, a new runway was built. This runway, called the Reef Runway (8R/26L, I think), is there specifically as a shuttle alternate landing site. If I recall correctly, it's about 12000 feet long. I also recall that JFK, among others, can handle an emergency shuttle landing. -- Alan M.
