Default Not enough wind!!!!

Get this, Been stuck offshore for days due to fog and finally the fog clears for us to be told that the plane which takes us from Shetland to Aberdeen cant land at Scatsta airport because there is not enough wind. Never heard of this before. What do you think? are they just taking the p**s.

Could be a short 'strip and they need to land into a good wind to be able to stop in time.

Other than that ??
