JAL Announces International Fare Fuel Surcharge for Tickets Issued Between April and May 2020
Japan Airlines (JAL) has requested for approval from Japan`s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) to set the level of fuel surcharge on international passenger tickets purchased in Japan between April 1 and May 31, 2020.
JAL sets fuel surcharge levels bimonthly based on the two month average price of Singapore kerosene-type jet fuel. The price of Singapore kerosene-type jet fuel during the two month period of December 2019 and January 2020 averaged US$76.08 per barrel, which accounted for 8,312 yen in the average exchange rate of 109.26 JPY/USD during the same period.
As a result, with reference to the fuel surcharge benchmark list for FY2020, this corresponds to Zone C. From April 1 to May 31, 2020, it will range from 500 yen on a Japan – Korea ticket to 10,500 yen on a Japan – USA ticket per person per sector flown, for travel originating in Japan.
