JAL Announces International Fare Fuel Surcharge for Tickets Issued between February and March 2015
TOKYODecember 9, 2014: Japan Airlines (JAL) has requested for approval from the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) to revise down the fuel surcharges applied on all international passenger tickets issued on/after February 1, 2015 as detailed below.
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 October and November 2014 averaged US$99.07 per barrel. With reference to the fuel surcharge benchmark list for FY2014, this corresponds to Zone D of fuel surcharges. From February to March 2015, it will range from 1,000 yen on a Japan - Korea ticket to 14,000 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 February 1 and March 31, 2015.
