Press Release

Tokyo, JAPAN - Japan Airlines (JAL) and Japan Transocean Air (JTA) have requested approval from Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) regarding the revision of fuel surcharge on international passenger tickets purchased in Japan between February 1 and March 31, 2026.

JAL and JTA set 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 October and November 2025 averaged USD 89.86 per barrel, which corresponds to JPY 13,750 using the average exchange rate of JPY/USD 153.01 during the same period.

As a result, with reference to the fuel surcharge benchmark list for FY2025, this corresponds to Zone H from February to March 2026.

Fuel Surcharge for the period: February 1 ～ March 31, 2026
(*1) Russia -> Irkutsk
(*2) Russia -> Novosibirsk
