Japan Airlines (JAL) will maintain current levels of fuel surcharge on all international passenger tickets issued between February 1 and March 31, 2014 as detailed below.
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 2013 averaged US$122.77 per barrel. With reference to the fuel surcharge benchmark list for fiscal year 2013 (see below), this corresponds to Zone G of fuel surcharges. From February to March 2014, it will range from 2,200 yen on a Japan – Korea ticket to 23,500 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 February 1 and March 31, 2014.
