Japan Airlines (JAL) and Japan Transocean Air (JTA) will revise the applicable international fuel surcharge amounts for tickets issued from November.
The two-month average Singapore kerosene market price from August through September was US$159.19 per barrel, while the average exchange rate was ¥161.63 to the US dollar, resulting in a yen-denominated amount of ¥25,089. Although Zone T (the ¥25,000 benchmark) would normally apply under the applicable conditions table, the airlines will lower the applicable condition by one level and apply Zone S (the ¥24,000 benchmark), taking into account government subsidies under emergency measures to mitigate sharp fluctuations in response to the situation in the Middle East.
For Japan-origin itineraries ticketed from November 1 through December 31, the surcharge per one-way journey will be ¥7,100 for routes to South Korea and the Russian Far East, as well as the Okinawa/Naha–Taipei and Kaohsiung routes; ¥16,000 for East Asia routes other than South Korea and Mongolia; ¥21,500 for routes to Guam, Palau, the Philippines, Vietnam, Mongolia, and Russia (Irkutsk); ¥33,200 for routes to Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, and Russia (Novosibirsk); ¥38,500 for routes to Hawaii, Indonesia, India, and Sri Lanka; and ¥62,000 for routes to North America excluding Hawaii, Europe, the Middle East, and Oceania.
