My understanding was they faced quite serious load restrictions inbound to KKE as well, which is do doubt in part because they also have to carry return fuel.

KKE has refueling facilities available. It's expensive (although still less than some ports) but it is available.

If they re-fuel in an remote port, it does increase the turn time e.g. in some airports the re-fueler is the guy loading the bags.
