US sanctions on Serbian fuel provider NIS. These sanctions seem to have been missed when calculating fuel for the outbound LX1416.
Boarding of LX1417 started early but passengers had to wait in the jet bridge before boarding the plane. During the wait ground staff informed them the flight crew needed time to figure out the details of where to refuel.
