They don’t like to land with a full load of fuel, apparently.
It would have made the news if it were the a Trump family member.
“after circling over the Atlantic...”
Well, their left turn signal was stuck in the “On” position, what else were they supposed to do?
Awhile back, we missed our flight in Ft Sill, OK because the plane coming from Dallas, TX had been 100% refueled and that short flight distance would not have used enough fuel for it to land.
They had to defuel the jet in Dallas before it could make its way to Ft. Sill.
There are numerous comments on here about reducing landing weight due to stress on the landing gear. That is partially true. But the main reason is braking energy. If the plane is over the maximum gross landing weight, then the landing distance calculations are invalid.

I’m old. I read that as, after circling the Atlantic.
