At what point does an airport have to stop large, commercial aircraft from landing because of high crosswinds?


depends upon captain's decision.every aircraft has "crosswind limit" more tolerable others.but there other factors take account,experience,what weather @ alternate.....ect.

there 1 occasion when had no other nightime airfield in range divert, , had land cessna 152(max cross wind component 17 kts) in crosswind of 22 gusting around 30 kts.

i'd imagine @ times calculated risks taken on commercial traffic aswell.
