Let's get this in context.
Lots of trucks/coaches rolling up the motorway/freeway with tired drivers/low fuel.
Time to take a break.
However what we are looking at here is lots of red eye flights arriving at the same time and the same place with marginal fuel. OK for the crew but better for the bean counters.

How many people would want to board a long haul where they knew there was marginal fuel?
