Aug 18, 2008 JAL Group Applies for Revision of International Normal Interline Fares

Tokyo, August 18, 2008: Today the JAL Group filed an application with the Japanese Ministry of Land Infrastructure, Transport & Tourism (MLITT) requesting a revision of international normal interline airfares applicable only for Japan departures.

The revision will result in international normal interline fares for travel from Japan to the Americas and Hawaii increasing by 10%, and international normal fares for travel from Japan to Africa, Asia, and the Middle East increasing by 5% due to the extraordinary increase in operational costs.

The revision will take effect from October 1, 2008, subject to government approval.

Example IATA International Normal Airfare % Increase

Travel from Japan to	IATA Normal Fares	Fare Increase %*
Americas / Hawaii	First / Business/ Economy	10%
Middle East / Africa	First / Business/ Economy	5%
Asia	First / Business/ Economy	5%
Europe	First / Business/ Economy	No change
Oceania	First / Business/ Economy	No change

Note:

1) Fare increase % = comparison of revised fares as of Oct 1, 2008 to current fares.

2) Where there are routes with weekend/weekday fares, the fare increase % shown above is only relevant for weekday roundtrip fares.
