Japan Airlines (JAL) and Japan Transocean Air (JTA) have applied to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism for a revision of the "Fuel Surcharge" applicable from July 2026.

The average price of Singapore kerosene for April-May 2026 was $178.21 per barrel. Multiplying this by the average exchange rate for the same period of 158.85 yen to the US dollar resulted in a yen conversion of 28,308 yen for Singapore kerosene market prices. In this case, Zone W (based on 28,000 yen) of the applicable conditions table would normally apply. However, taking into account the effect of subsidies from the government's emergency measures to mitigate drastic changes in light of the situation in the Middle East, the fuel surcharge applicable to tickets issued in July and August 2026 will be the amount for Zone T (based on 25,000 yen).

[Overview of International "Fuel Surcharge"]

Applicable Period: For tickets issued from Wednesday, July 1, 2026, to Monday, August 31, 2026.

Fare Amount: Itinerary departing from Japan (amount per person per sector, one-way)

◆ Revision Conditions

1) For tickets issued from Wednesday, July 1, 2026, to Monday, August 31, 2026, changes from the above applicable amounts will not be made in principle, regardless of future aviation fuel price levels. However, the amount, revision timing, and applicable period may change depending on government approval status.

2) The fuel surcharge for tickets issued from September 2026 onwards will be announced in August 2026.

◆ Applicable Conditions

1) Adults and children will be charged the same amount. Infants under 2 years old who do not occupy a seat are excluded. Furthermore, customers using JAL Mileage Bank international award tickets will also be charged the same amount.

2) If a ticket is refunded after purchase, no cancellation fee will be applied to the fuel surcharge.

FAQ

What is the main reason for this fuel surcharge revision?

The primary reason is the surge in crude oil prices, but due to government emergency mitigation measures, the amount is kept lower than originally intended.

When is this revision effective from and until?

It applies to tickets issued from July 1, 2026, to August 31, 2026.

What specifically are the government's emergency mitigation measures?

These are measures such as subsidies implemented in light of the Middle East situation to alleviate the impact of soaring fuel costs on people's lives and economic activities.

What will happen to the fuel surcharge from September onwards?

The applicable amount for September onwards is scheduled to be announced in August. It will be determined based on market prices at that time.

How does the fuel surcharge revision affect the total airfare?
