But the one crew were clearly operating STN/LPA/ASC to then take mandatory crew rest before continuing, they can't operate STN/LPA/HLE in a single duty period and LPA seems an oddball choice of fuel stop being only 4 hours in to the journey, I appreciate that there are problems with quarantines etc. but couldn't they at least make it as far as somewhere like SID or DKR where at least there are hotels to accommodate both crew and pax whilst completing the route with perhaps just one stop.
