Fuel tankering in commercial aviation is the practice of overfueling with less expensive fuel purchased at one airport to avoid purchasing more expensive fuel at another—in other words, flying with extra fuel on board to save money. For the foreseeable future, SAFs are expected to cost substantially more than fossil jet fuel.
