JAL Group Revises FH2008 Japan Domestic Normal & Round-trip Discount Economy Fares
Tokyo January 21, 2008: Today JAL Group submitted an application with the Japanese Ministry of Land Infrastructure, and Transport (MLIT) requesting a revision of domestic normal economy fares and round-trip discount economy fares for flight departures in the 1st half of FY2008, the period from April 1 to September 30, 2008.
Fuel prices have remained high with the price of Singapore kerosene-type jet fuel having risen above US$100 dollars per barrel. The company has been conducting a wide range of countermeasures to limit the full impact of the price increase including fuel hedging, fuel consumption reductions, and the introduction of more fuel-efficient small and medium-sized aircraft to its fleet.
Despite these measures, the company is reluctantly obliged to ask its domestic passengers to bear part of the burden caused by the unprecedented increase in the price of fuel over the past few years.
As a result, the JAL Group has decided to increase just Japan domestic normal economy fares and round-trip discount economy fares. JAL will increase these fares by on average 9% during the first half of FY2008, the 6 month period starting April 1, 2008.
The increase will also affect other fares linked to normal adult fares such as normal child fares.
Such discounted fares as bargain, special flight discount, and ‘Otomo de Mile’ fares will not be affected by this increase.
Supplements payable for domestic travel in First Class or Class J will not be increased.
