The international airlines in the Japan Airlines Group, Japan Airlines,
Japan Air System, Japan Asia Airways and JALways have today filed with the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transportation
for approval of a proposed 3% fare increase agreed in mid-March by
the member airlines of the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
The 3% increase, subject to government approval, will apply to fares for
flights departing and arriving in Japan and is aimed at covering the significant exceptional cost increases currently being faced by the airline
industry, including rising fuel costs and security expenses.
The fare
increase applies to all carriers in the market and takes effect from April
15, 2003.
In principle the 3% increase - or its equivalent- applies to all fares (first class,
business class and economy class). |
