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 October 1 and November 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 June and July 2023
averaged USD 94.59 per barrel, which accounted for JPY 13,357 in the average exchange rate of JPY/USD
