The Noreaster hitting the NE has resulted in a kinked flow of jet fuel to BOS and limited supply for airlines. Airlines are tankering in fuel via incoming flights to reduce their need for supply, this should resolve once the storm clears.

Second: an aircraft full of fuel needs more fuel to take off, land and fly. It's less efficient.
So if UK changes to fuel duty incentivise tankering, it's plausible that the result will be more, not less, CO2 emissions. Totally counter-productive.

The catch is a particularly nasty one.
We are so near to the EU that, if the UK did unilaterally impose fuel duty on private jets, they'd just load up on fuel before coming to the UK ("tankering").

Swiss Air CEO says no immediate fuel shortage, eyes contingency plans
Swiss International Air Lines has sufficient jet fuel supplies for the next six weeks, its CEO told the NZZ newspaper on Saturday, but is exploring contingencies like "tankering" amid industry warnings of fuel shortages tied to the Iran war.

Explaincars Drama: Tankering is when it makes more sense economically to add extra fuel at one airport and "tanker" it to the next one to be used on the next leg. E.g. the cheaper cost of the fuel offsets the performance impact of carrying it (or perhaps there are supply problems at the destination)

"Tankering" gegen "Kerosinsteuer" ist ungefähr ein so stichhaltiges Argument wie "Tanktourismus" gegen "Mineralölsteuer". Auf den meisten internationalen Flügen gibt es keine Reichweiten- und Ladungsreserven, um große Mengen Treibstoff mitnehmen zu können.

Our American billionaire near-neighbour is currently tankering in 13,000 gallons of water daily, to water his new trees. The rest of us are under water restrictions, as we were last year, when he dug & filled a massive lake with drinking water. All legally. Just ‘not the spirit.’

Extremely small scale considering what we're looking at. There was a change in fuel tankering policy and it was managed at levels below Luxon, pretty damn well I'd say. It caused a few issues but crucially there was still fuel coming through the Hormuz strait

Yeah there's two types of tankering. Economic, which is what you describe at the beginning, and Administrative, which is the supply issue type.
