JAL Announces International Fare Fuel Surcharge for Tickets Issued Between April and May 2023
TOKYO, February 20,2023 – 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 April 1 and May 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 December 2022 and January 2023 averaged USD112.95 per barrel, which accounted for JPY14,992 in the average exchange rate of JPY/USD 132.74 during the same period.
As a result, with reference to the fuel surcharge benchmark list for FY2022, this corresponds to Zone I from April to May 2023.

(*1) Russia -> Irkutsk
