Interesting
Well, the reports say 39kg less than final reserve(not sure how they are so accurate!). So pretty much bang on it. If they committed as the best option and declared ICAO 4444 Minimum Fuel, then it may just be a case of slightly longer vectors than they were anticipating. Doesn't seem like a huge issue on a particularly bad day for weather.
