Narrative:
With an approved MEL item; anti-skid inoperative; necessitating a landing runway requirement of 10300 ft in length; ZZZ was notified which runway would be required for landing. I was given a hold at intersection of 25 mins. After talking with dispatch to confirm my runway requirements I was notified by approach control that that runway would not be available unless I declared an emergency. Leaving me no other option I declared an emergency even though there was no emergency situation involved. A normal landing was made and we taxied to the gate.
