JAL to Increase Fuel Surcharge; Adjust Level Every 2 Months

Japan Airlines is to increase its fuel surcharges from April 2011.

 The airline has also decided to adjust its fuel surcharge levels every 2 months instead of the current interval of 3 months, based on the average price of Singapore kerosene-type jet fuel for the 2-month period before the last 2 months, instead of an average of 3 months previously.

The price of Singapore kerosene-type jet fuel during the 2 month period of December 2010 and January 2011 averaged US$106.60 per barrel. With reference to the fuel surcharge benchmark list for the fiscal year of 2011, this corresponds to Zone E fuel surcharges which range from 1,500 yen on a Japan - Korea ticket to 17,500 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 1 April and 31 May 2011.
