As JT has said, it was rather common practice when fuel availability was a problem, the airlines would have an aircraft fill to the brim at an out of the way airport and transfer it to aircraft in need back at base so they could maintain scheduled services as best they could. (JT, used to see DC-9 at Whyalla on those occasions tankering fuel to Adelaide - no pax involved, just the boys up front)

Ref Oz practices of yesteryear, fuel defueled could then not meet the required QA standards for reuse.
Fuel at our operation always went back into the tanker for reuse on company aircraft, but the operation was private rather than airline.
