Too windy?

Hi there, just one question from mr.PPL:

Its been quite windy here up north, and i was looking through the METREPORT for BIKF (Keflavik, Iceland):

METAR BIKF 102200Z 13049G72KT 8000 RA OVC019 04/03 Q0988=

Well, then i noticed that IcelandExpress (operated by Hello Ag) have two arrivals from Europe to BIKF tonight, FHE 134 from Schoenefeld and FHE 276 from Barcelona, both are operated by MD-90

So here is my question: Can you safely operate an MD-90 (or any mid size jet) in these conditions? And if so where is the limit?

cheers


ps. no wonder why the 777 and A380 did their x-w tests up here
