TOKYO, Japan – Japan Airlines (JAL) will maintain current levels of fuel surcharge on all international passenger tickets issued between Jun 1 and July 31, 2013.

JAL sets fuel surcharge levels bimonthly based on the 2-month average price of Singapore kerosene-type jet fuel. The price of Singapore kerosene-type jet fuel during the two month period of February and March 2013 averaged US$128.28 per barrel. With reference to the fuel surcharge benchmark list for fiscal year 2013 (see below), this remains corresponding to Zone G of fuel surcharges. From Jun to July 2013, it will range from 2,200 yen on a Japan – Korea ticket to 23,500 yen on a Japan – USA ticket per person per sector flown, on tickets purchased in Japan.

This level of surcharge will be applied to all international passenger tickets issued between Jun 1 and July 31, 2013.
