JAL Lowers International Fare Fuel Surcharge for Tickets Issued between February and March 2013

TOKYO, 2012-12-13 — /travelprnews.com/ — Japan Airlines (JAL) has requested for 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 between February 1 and March 31, 2013 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 2012 averaged US$127.65 per barrel. With reference to the benchmark list for fiscal year 2012 (see below), this corresponds to Zone G of fuel surcharges which from February 2013, 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, 2013.

Fuel Surcharge for the period: February 1 and March 31, 2013.

Current Level : Zone H
(Applicable till Dec. 31, 2012)

New Level: Zone G
(Applicable on/after Feb.. 1, 2013)
