JAL to Reduce Fuel Surcharge

Japan Airlines (JAL) has requested 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 1 February 2015.

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.

From February to March 2015, the fuel surcharge 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 1 February and 31 March 2015.
