With an option to jettison the payload I would imagine it can land relatively short. The majority of stopping distance is related to having enough rubber on pavement and keeping brakes cool enough. Stopping energy required changes dramatically as weight is reduced as it’s less energy required to stop and a slower touchdown speed.
I’m not sure how the dimensions of the aircraft affect its ability to use other airports though and exiting a shorter runway after repair can also present a major challenge.
