The SOP's in my company state for certain destinations (THR, AUH, DXB, BAH, CAI etc) that we should plan to land with less than 12 tons of fuel. I've actually had some icing in Dubai after a 6 hour flight with about 15 tons on board (this was before this 12 ton instruction; the value back then was 17 tons). This was a rather strange situation as the temperature was 22 degrees at the time, unfortunately the dewpoint was the same.....

Hope this helps.

P.S. I just saw I forgot to mention type : 767-300...
