TOKYO, Japan – Japan Airlines (JAL) has requested for approval from the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Tourism (MLIT) to revise down the level of fuel surcharge on all international passenger tickets purchased between December 1, 2015 and January 31, 2016.

JAL sets fuel surcharge levels bimonthly based on the 2-month average price of Singapore kerosene-type jet fuel.

As a result, with reference to the fuel surcharge benchmark list for FY2015 in Japanese yen, this corresponds to Zone B of fuel surcharges. From December 2015 to January 2016, it will range from 300 yen on a Japan – Korea ticket to 7,000 yen on a Japan – USA ticket per person per sector flown, on tickets for travel originating in Japan.

TOKYO, Japan – Japan Airlines (JAL) has requested for approval from the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) to apply the level of fuel surcharges on all international passenger tickets issued between April 1 and May 31, 2015 as detailed below.

The fuel surcharge benchmark list (sales in Japan) for the fiscal year of 2015 between April 1, 2015 and March 31, 2016 (see below) has been adjusted from fiscal year 2014 to further strengthen the resistance against a fluctuating exchange rate for the Japanese yen.

Thus the currency for average price of fuel to each level of all zones will be changed from US dollar to Japanese yen for sales in Japan, and there is no adjustment to the benchmark list in FY2015 for sales outside Japan from FY2014. In terms of fuel surcharge to tickets purchased outside Japan, please refer to http://www.jal.co.jp/en/inter/fuel/detail_world.html
JAL sets fuel surcharge levels bimonthly based on the 2-month average price of Singapore kerosene-type jet fuel. The price of Singapore kerosene-type jet fuel during the two month period of December 2014 and January 2015 averaged US$71.02 per barrel, which accounted for 8,441.00 yen in the average exchange rate of 118.85 JPY/USD during the same period.

As a result, with reference to the benchmark list for fiscal year 2015 priced in Japanese yen, this corresponds to Zone C of fuel surcharges which from April 2015, will range from 500 yen on a Japan – Korea ticket to 10,500 yen on a Japan – USA ticket per person per sector flown, on tickets purchased in Japan. This level of surcharge will be applied to all international passenger tickets issued between April 1 and May 31, 2015.

Fuel has been at its lowest, and Japan Airlines (JAL) has requested for approval from the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) to revise down the fuel surcharges applied on all international passenger tickets issued on/after February 1, 2015 as detailed below.

JAL sets fuel surcharge levels bimonthly based on the 2-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 2014 averaged US$99.07 per barrel. With reference to the fuel surcharge benchmark list for FY2014, this corresponds to Zone D of fuel surcharges. From February to March 2015, it will range from 1,000 yen on a Japan – Korea ticket to 14,000 yen on a Japan – USA ticket per person per sector flown, on tickets purchased in Japan.

This updated level of fuel surcharge will be applied to all international passenger tickets issued between February 1 and March 31, 2015.

TOKYO, Japan – Japan Airlines (JAL) has requested for approval from the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) to apply the level of fuel surcharges on all international passenger tickets issued between April 1 and May 31, 2014 as detailed below. Meanwhile, the fuel surcharge benchmark list for the fiscal year 2014 has been determined. (Fiscal year 2014 is from April 1, 2014 to March 31, 2015, hereinafter referred to as “FY2014”)

Regarding fuel surcharge benchmark list for FY2014(see below), the airline adjusted the amounts in Japanese yen for Zone G, H and I in response to increased expenses, owing to weak yen last year, and levels within Zones A to F remain the same.

JAL sets fuel surcharge levels bimonthly based on the 2-month average price of Singapore kerosene-type jet fuel. The price of Singapore kerosene-type jet fuel during the two month period of December 2013 and January 2014 averaged US$123.88 per barrel. With reference to the fuel surcharge benchmark list for FY2014, this corresponds to Zone G of fuel surcharges. From April to May 2014, it will range from 2,500 yen on a Japan – Korea ticket to 25,000 yen on a Japan – USA ticket per person per sector flown, on tickets purchased in Japan.

This updated level of fuel surcharge will be applied to all international passenger tickets issued between April 1 and May 31, 2014.
