Aborted Landing Approach in Palma: When Does Wind Become the Limit?

Answer

How strong can wind be before a flight can’t land in Mallorca?

There is no single public wind value that applies to every flight in Mallorca, because limits depend on the aircraft type, the airline and the situation at the airport. Pilots and air traffic control decide based on the current conditions, including crosswind and gusts along the approach path. When the wind is too unstable, a diversion may be safer than trying again.
