JAL Announces International Fare Fuel Surcharge for Tickets Issued Between August and September 2025
Tokyo, JAPAN - Japan Airlines (JAL) has requested for approval from Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) for the revision of fuel surcharge on international passenger tickets purchased in Japan between August 1 and September 30, 2025.
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 2025 averaged USD 79.60 per barrel, which accounted for JPY 11,507 in the average exchange rate of JPY/USD 144.57 during the same period.
As a result, with reference to the fuel surcharge benchmark list for FY2025, this corresponds to Zone F from August to September 2025.
Fuel Surcharge for the period: August 1 ～ September 30, 2025
(*1) Russia -> Irkutsk
(*2) Russia -> Novosibirsk
