Japan Airlines to increase International Passenger Fare Fuel Surcharges

Japan Airlines to increase International Passenger Fare Fuel Surcharges

*Travel News Asia*	*3 June 2005*

The JAL Group today requested approval from the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MLIT), to increase the fuel surcharge placed on all international passenger tickets issued on or after July 1st, 2005. JAL introduced the fuel surcharge in February this year in response to rises in the cost of fuel.

The surcharge applies to flights operated by Japan Airlines and its international subsidiaries JALways and Japan Asia Airways and will remain in effect until September 30, 2005. However, the revised surcharge will be reduced to the original February levels once the average monthly price of Singapore kerosene falls below the benchmark of US$60.00 per barrel. The surcharges will be cancelled completely when the average monthly price of Singapore kerosene falls below the benchmark of US$40.00 per barrel.
