All I see is mention of a single runway destination which is clearly incorrect.
It may be a revelation to you but it isn’t uncommon in countries outside Australia, regulators require airlines and crew to consider airports with crossing runways as single runway airports when calculating fuel requirements pre-flight and when calculating in-flight reduction of fuel. I’ll leave it to you why this may be the case.

That is a big call! Why is this part of the world different?
The question that should be asked is why is Australia different to the rest of the world in regards to alternate fuel requirements?
