Can a plane fly in 25 mph winds?

Absolutely. Pretty much any airplane can easily fly in 25 mph winds. If that is a direct crosswind that might make landing smaller aircraft more challenging, but airliners, no problems.

In general, the answer is yes.

Most aircraft hand handle a 20 mph wind, even a cross wind. A commercial aircraft has a takeoff speed over 100 mph and wouldn't be bothered by a 20 mph from any direction. Check the wind.

MORE DETAILS

There is no single maximum wind limit as it depends on the direction of wind and phase of flight. A crosswind above about 40mph and tailwind above 10mph can start to cause problems and stop commercial jets taking off and landing. It can sometimes be too windy to take-off or land.

Is it safe to fly in high winds? In general, the answer is yes. In addition to the fact that modern aircraft are designed to perform well in very high winds, pilots around the world must be able to demonstrate skill at flying in windy conditions in order to become licensed.

MORE DETAILS

Pilots know that flying safely in threatening turbulence requires slowing to VA, the maneuvering speed. This assures that the airplane will stall before its limit load factor can be exceeded. Such a stall is momentary and protects the structure against damaging loads.

MORE DETAILS

Aircraft always try to land and take off into the wind in order to minimize the speeds needed to get airborne or come to a stop.
