JAL Announces International Fare Fuel Surcharge for Tickets Issued Between August and September 2022
TOKYO, June 24,2022 – Japan Airlines (JAL) has requested for approval from Japan`s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) to set the level of fuel surcharge on international passenger tickets purchased in Japan between August 1 and September 30, 2022.
JAL sets fuel surcharge levels bimonthly based on the two-month average price of Singapore kerosene-type jet fuel. The price of Singapore kerosene-type jet fuel during the two-month period of April 2022 and May 2022 averaged USD138.52 per barrel, which accounted for JPY17,644 in the average exchange rate of JPY/USD 127.38 during the same period.
As a result, with reference to the fuel surcharge benchmark list for FY2022, this corresponds to Zone L from August 1 to September 30, 2022.
Fuel Surcharge for the period: August 1 ~ September 30, 2022
(*1) Russia -> Irkutsk
