Don't forget that a fuel stop is an inconvenience for the airline as well as the customer - The additional costs (handling/fuel/maintenance/airport charges) as well as the knock on effect of crew/aircraft being in the wrong place at the wrong time and the missed connections for customers will have ensured that they took a loss on this route on that day.

I guess what I'm saying is that they will not have taken the decision lightly.

I'm not sure quite what you mean by
