Just wanted to know what this airport is like, and what airlines/aircraft operate from it? Does anyone know what the largest a/c that can land there?

ABZ has played host to A340, A330, L1011, B777, B763 over the years.
If you’re lucky you will see AN12/26/72/74. These are fairly regular on oil freight runs, but don’t have advanced knowledge of when they come.
Also regular bizjets, again mainly oil-related. GLF4 left for USA this morning.
Ain’t such a quiet place anymore.
