Please explain how taking round trip fuel on short haul flights is a cost saving matter??? Do you know how much it costs to carry that excess fuel?
Did you not notice the bit where it says (where it is economical to do so) ?.
Anyway round trip fuelling seems to work for the lo-co's on some routes - saves a potential delay and a charge for the fuel truck.
Wouldn't work on a long route like LHR-PMI for example, but on a short LHR-BRU/CDG hop then it could, although with the current LHR fuel situation, some carriers are round trip fuelling inbound to LHR.
