The JAL Group
today requested approval from the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MLIT), to increase the fuel surcharge placed on all
international passenger tickets issued on or after July 1st, 2005. JAL introduced the fuel surcharge in February this year in response to rises in the cost of fuel.
The surcharge applies to flights operated by Japan Airlines and its international subsidiaries JALways and Japan Asia Airways and will remain in effect until September
30, 2005. However, the revised surcharge will be reduced to the original February levels once the average monthly price of Singapore kerosene falls below the
benchmark of US$60.00 per barrel. The surcharges will be cancelled completely when the average monthly price of Singapore kerosene falls below the benchmark of
US$40.00 per barrel.
