Japan Airlines (JAL) and Japan Transocean Air (JTA) will raise their international fuel surcharges for tickets issued from February 2026 onward.
The amount of the fuel surcharge is determined based on the two–month average market price of Singapore kerosene for aviation fuel, converted into Japanese yen using the two–month average foreign exchange rate. From August to September, the average market price of Singapore kerosene was 89.86 US dollars per barrel, with an exchange rate of 153.01 yen to the US dollar, resulting in a yen-converted price of 13,750 yen.
For itineraries departing from Japan on tickets issued between February 1 and March 31, 2026, the one-way surcharge will be 3,000 yen on routes to South Korea and Far Eastern Russia, and on Okinawa/Naha–Taipei/Kaohsiung routes; 7,400 yen on East Asia routes excluding South Korea and Mongolia; 9,500 yen on routes to Guam, Palau, the Philippines, Vietnam, Mongolia, and Russia (Irkutsk); 15,500 yen on routes to Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, and Russia (Novosibirsk); 18,500 yen on routes to Hawaii, Indonesia, India, and Sri Lanka; and 29,000 yen on routes to North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Oceania excluding Hawaii.
