It's not really a technical stop.
It needs to stop to take on fuel to complete the flight to its destination without the loading or offloading of passengers. Isn't that by definition, a technical stop?
(I know the passengers get off, go through pre-clearance then get back on, but I believe passengers do not get off an SNN or board at SNN, so the do not load of offload passengers)
