JAL Announces International Fare Fuel Surcharge for Tickets Issued Between August and September 2023
TOKYO, Japan – 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, 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 April and May 2023
averaged USD 93.12 per barrel, which accounted for JPY 12,604 in the average exchange rate of JPY/USD
135.35 during the same period.
As a result, with reference to the fuel surcharge benchmark list for FY2023, this corresponds to Zone G from August to September 2023.
