I believe that min fuel uplift questions could arise when you operating with performance limitations (short/hot/high runway or long distance). In such case additional 1 tone of fuel means you need to disemark 10 pax or 1 tone of cargo, isn't it?
Any Maersk drivers here? Are you departing exactly with min required fuel to/from FAE on 735, keeping in mind you constantly disemabarking cargo or even(?) baggage to stay within avail LW/TOW to/from FAE, where diversion is very likely (weather is always bad), and alternates are far away?
