The JAL Group
is to revise the fuel surcharge placed on all its international passenger tickets issued for the 3 month period starting January 1,
2008.
JAL
is increasing the fuel surcharge for tickets issued between January 1 and March 31 2008, as the price of Singapore
kerosene-type jet fuel has averaged US$90.65 per barrel over the 3 month period August – October 2007.
Based on ticket sales in Japan, the new surcharges per person per sector flown range from 2,400 yen on a Japan - Korea ticket (up from
2,000 yen) to 21,000 yen on a Japan- Brazil ticket (up from 17,000). The surcharge on a Japan-Europe ticket or a Japan- North America ticket
will be 17,000 yen, up from 13,000 yen.
JAL originally introduced the fuel surcharge on international tickets in February 2005 in response to unprecedented rises in the cost of fuel.
JAL's
fuel surcharge charged for tickets issued from April to June 2008 will be reviewed based on the average price of fuel for November
2007
through to January 2008.
