Its possible that a landing would have been on 32 (with significant tailwind), as the non precision approach on 14 has a minimum well above the reported cloud base. The runway is 2100 metres, so not excessively long particularly if you are tankering fuel, which we used to do, although my memory may be failing as it is a long time ago since I was last there. Combine a tricky approach with the distractions of the Air Berlin insolvency and maybe this is not such a big surprise.
