JAL Announces International Fare Fuel Surcharge for Tickets Issued Between April and May 2019
Japan Airlines (JAL) has requested for approval from the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) to set the level of fuel surcharge on international passenger tickets purchased in Japan between April 1 and May 31, 2019.
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 2018 and January 2019 averaged US$71.88 per barrel, which accounted for 7,957 yen in the average exchange rate of 110.70 JPY/USD during the same period.
As a result, with reference to the fuel surcharge benchmark list for FY2019 in Japanese yen, this corresponds to Zone B. From April 1 to May 31, 2019, 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, for travel originating in Japan.
