Press Release
JAL Announces International Fare Fuel Surcharge For Tickets Issued Between December 2015 And January 2016
Tokyo October 22, 2015: Japan Airlines (JAL) has requested for approval from the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Tourism (MLIT) to revise down the level of fuel surcharge on all international passenger tickets purchased between December 1, 2015 and January 31, 2016.
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 August and September 2015 averaged US$57.92 per barrel, which accounted for 7,054 yen in the average exchange rate of 121.80 JPY/USD during the same period.
As a result, with reference to the fuel surcharge benchmark list for FY2015 in Japanese yen, this corresponds to Zone B of fuel surcharges. From December 2015 to January 2016, it will range from 300 yen on a Japan - Korea ticket to 7,000 yen on a Japan - USA ticket per person per sector flown, on tickets for travel originating in Japan.
Fuel Surcharge for the period: December 1, 2015 ~ January 31, 2016

- The surcharge applies to flights operated by Japan Airlines as well as code-share flights operated by other airlines.
- The planned level of fuel surcharge is subject to government approval.
