JAL Announces International Fare Fuel Surcharge for Tickets Issued Between December 2019 and January 2020
Japan Airlines (JAL) will maintain current levels of fuel surcharge on international passenger tickets purchased in Japan between December 1, 2019 and January 31, 2020.
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 2019 averaged US$76.12 per barrel, which accounted for 8,130 yen in the average exchange rate of 106.81 JPY/USD during the same period.
As a result, with reference to the fuel surcharge benchmark list for FY2019, this corresponds to Zone C. From December 1, 2019 to January 31, 2020, it will range from 500 yen on a Japan – Korea ticket to 10,500 yen on a Japan – USA ticket per person per sector flown, for travel originating in Japan.
