JAL to Maintain Fuel Surcharge Levels

Japan Airlines has requested approval from the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) to maintain the current levels of fuel surcharge on all international passenger tickets issued between 1 October and 30 November 2013.

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 June and July 2013 averaged US$119.09 per barrel. With reference to the fuel surcharge benchmark list for fiscal year 2013, this corresponds to Zone F of fuel surcharges. From October to November 2013, it will range from 2,000 yen on a Japan - Korea ticket to 21,000 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 October 1 and November 30, 2013.
