JAL Announces International Fare Fuel Surcharge for Tickets Issued Between December 2022 and January 2023
TOKYO, October 17,2022 – 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 December 1, 2022 and January 31, 2023.
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 August 2022 and September 2022 averaged USD128.12 per barrel, which accounted for JPY17,810 in the average exchange rate of
JPY/USD 139 during the same period. As a result, with reference to the fuel surcharge benchmark list for
FY2022, this corresponds to Zone L from December 2022 to January 2023.
