"Since such an aircraft would necessarily be a twin engine, commercial twin engine aircraft are required to reach flying speed and lose an engine and either get airborne or come to a complete stop in a certain distance. This is called the "balance field length".
This term is referred to as "accelerate stop distance", and "accelerate go distance" Runway length does play a pivotal roll in whether or not small commercial airliners can land there, however this is merely FAA standards, and as we know things are always different in Belize
As for "jet fuel" it is similar qualities and you can run a diesel engine off of jet fuel,
