Minimum runway length quoted for Boeing 777 take-offs is 2500m, plus a 240m runway end safety area (a sandpit it can plow into if the takeoff is aborted without remaining space to halt).

When conditions are perfect and the runway sits at sea level, a Boening 777 would require at least 8,000 feet of runway to land safely.
If the runway is at sea level and the runway length is 5,000 feet then turbo props, light jets, mid-size jet and heavy jets have the performance. It's important to note that for every 2,000 feet of elevation, you need an increase of 1,000 feet in runway length.
A runway of at least 6,000 ft (1,829 m) in length is usually adequate for aircraft weights below approximately 200,000 lb (90,718 kg). Larger aircraft including widebodies will usually require at least 8,000 ft (2,438 m) at sea level and somewhat more at higher altitude airports.
When all is said and done, the Airbus A380 needs 3,000 m (9,800 ft) of runway to take off fully-loaded, while the Boeing 747-8 requires 3,100 m (10,200 ft).
The Boeing 747 is considered to have the longest takeoff distance of the more common aircraft types and has set the standard for runway lengths of larger international airports. At sea level, 3,200 m (10,500 ft) can be considered an adequate length to land virtually any aircraft.
This is especially true for the critical aircraft – the Boeing 737-900 which requires a landing length of 6,800 feet under wet conditions and a takeoff length of 9,700 feet under maximum takeoff weight.
Most general aviation aircraft retain this short-field performance; the Cessna 172, the most produced aircraft in history, will take off in as little as 805 feet (245 m) at Standard Temperature when fully loaded.
Can a wide body airliner land with a full fuel tank? Yes! But it is safer to land an aircraft below its published MLW. Using the B777-200 as an example.
Can a 747 land on a 7000 foot runway? A 747 requires a 7400 foot runway at a normal operating weight, so if it were particularly light, it could operate on a 7000 foot runway.
Irausquin Airport (IATA: SAB, ICAO: TNCS) is an airport on the Dutch Caribbean island of Saba. Its runway is widely acknowledged as the shortest commercial runway in the world, with a length of 400 m (1,312 ft).
Building a 5,000-by-75-foot runway and accompanying ramp and taxiway that can accommodate a large-cabin business jet can cost $10 million or more in a colder climate once you factor in surveying, permitting, engineering, marking, designing a GPS instrument approach, and installation of lighting, a fuel farm, and a ...
A typical takeoff speed for a Boeing 747 is around 160 knots (184 mph), depending on the jet's wing flap configuration, the number of passengers aboard, and the weight of their luggage, fuel load, current weather conditions, and other factors.
