JAL and ANA to cut fuel surcharges below ¥60,000 on flights to U.S. and Europe
Both airlines had raised the surcharges on the routes for tickets issued in July and August to a record ¥65,000 from ¥56,000 for May and June.
Japan Airlines and All Nippon Airways plan to reduce their fuel surcharges on international flights to North America and Europe to between ¥50,000 and ¥55,000 for tickets issued in September and October, according to sources. The airlines made this announcement on Wednesday as fuel prices have decreased since reaching a peak earlier in the year due to unrest in the Middle East.
Both carriers had previously increased the surcharges for tickets issued in July and August to a record ¥65,000 from the previous level of ¥56,000 for tickets issued in May and June. The airlines will also lower their surcharges on other routes for tickets issued in September and October. The surcharges are determined based on the average aviation fuel market prices and foreign exchange rates from the preceding two months.
