CDB can handle any plane in the fleet, fully loaded. It’s an old Air Force facility that used to be an alternate for the space shuttle. Tpac heavies still drop in occasionally on diversions.

Unless you are thinking of DUT itself. The last 737 that could land at DUT was the 732. The current next-gens can’t do it. That’s why AS farmed it out to Penair since the 732’s retired.
