No way any of the command cruisers or aerial fortresses could take off from land. The amount of runway space you would need is ridiculous. The Glepnir is one of the only ones where any information on that is provided, and it says something along the lines of it's so big that it needs to take off and land on water. In one of the missions you can also see guiding runway lights over the water. This, along with the very marine-esque design of the aigaion, lead me to believe these huge craft are waterborn. Take a look at the HK-1 Spruce Goose as an example in the real world. I don't believe there is any canon material that explains hresvelgr's takeoff or landing capabilities. Or the Aigaion for that matter.
