JAL Requests to Reduce Fuel Surcharges for International Fares


As you could imagine, it is a very uncommon maneuver for carriers to reduce charges to save international travels money. However, Japan Airlines (JAL) appears to be doing just that.
JAL has sent a formal request to the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and tourism (MLIT) for approval. If passed, fuel charges will be lowered on all JAL flights, domestic & international passenger flights that were ticketed between the 1st of August and 30th of September, 2012.
The surcharge levels are based off of the Singapore kerosene-type jet fuel, and are applied bimonthly based on the average price per barrel. North American travelers can expect ticket prices to be effected by up to $265 per round-trip. Surcharges will be reassessed at the next bimonthly period.
