Pure speculation on my part, but maybe that's better for the environment because it's not being burned as it's used?

Make the airplane light for landing. Many large aircraft takeoff heavier than their max landing weight.

They burned twice that much fuel getting the plane into the air, flying an hour and a half, then having to turn back.

It'll turn into CO2 eventually. For now, it's just contributing to smog.
