It will cost more money for fuel but it will decrease the TAX. If you fly from Hong Kong to Cologne the tax will be much higher than flying from Hong Kong to Mumbai then on to Cologne. The stopover significantly reduces the tax. It will cost more in fuel costs but it is a way of protesting and stopping the tax revenue being given to the EU.
