Press Release
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.
