The reason why fuel is way more expensive at some places is because of the costs to get the fuel to that place. For ny airline I often tanker fuel to greek islands. Yes we do burn more on the inbound flight but we save quite a bit on the fuel bill.

How do we think the jet A1 is getting to one of those islands? If you take this into account, tankering does make sense. Economically and environmentally.
