The airline I used to work for had 2 A321's based at a UK airport.

They brought in a new procedure one summer which required config 3 when the x-wind component was over a certain limit.
Unfortunately the runway is relatively short (no location mentioned), and there were approx 5-10 diverts throughout the summer when the procedure was followed.........as the extra landing speed pushed them outside of the braking/stopping performa!
No other airlines had any issue getting in.

The procedure was 'reviewed' come the winter!!!
