Airports may be served (commercially) by small aircraft but quite often they are capable of handling larger aircraft. Molokai (Hawaii) has a runway a little over 4000 feet long (at least when I lived in Hawaii) yet it regularly flights by Aloha 737's and Hawaiian DC-9's. DC-9's and 727's require less than 5,000 feet.
