Press Release
JAL Announces International Fare Fuel Surcharge for Tickets Issued between April and May 2014
TOKYOFebruary 5, 2014: Japan Airlines (JAL) has requested for approval from the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) to apply the level of fuel surcharges on all international passenger tickets issued between April 1 and May 31, 2014 as detailed below. Meanwhile, the fuel surcharge benchmark list for the fiscal year 2014 has been determined. (Fiscal year 2014 is from April 1, 2014 to March 31, 2015, hereinafter referred to as “FY2014”)
Regarding fuel surcharge benchmark list for FY2014(see below), the airline adjusted the amounts in Japanese yen for Zone G, H and I in response to increased expenses, owing to weak yen last year, and levels within Zones A to F remain the same.
JAL sets fuel surcharge levels bimonthly based on the 2-month average price of Singapore kerosene-type jet fuel. The price of Singapore kerosene-type jet fuel during the two month period of December 2013 and January 2014 averaged US$123.88 per barrel. With reference to the fuel surcharge benchmark list for FY2014, this corresponds to Zone G of fuel surcharges. From April to May 2014, it will range from 2,500 yen on a Japan - Korea ticket to 25,000 yen on a Japan - USA ticket per person per sector flown, on tickets purchased in Japan.
This updated level of fuel surcharge will be applied to all international passenger tickets issued between April 1 and May 31, 2014.
