Fuel for 3 goarounds and a diversion to LHR is way above normal holding/diversion fuel. Emirates tankers same as the others even if it may not be possible to tanker round trip.
Sitting on ground in Hyderabad waiting for the ice to melt from the wings on a 380? Landed with tankering fuel.
BIG numbers involved with these airlines.
