JAL to reduce fuel surcharges on int'l flights tickets as fuel price falls
TOKYO (Kyodo) -- Japan Airlines Co. said Tuesday that it will reduce its fuel surcharge for tickets for international flights to be issued in Septembe
Japan Airlines has announced it will reduce its fuel surcharge for international flights in September and October, following a decrease in fuel prices due to the end of the U.S.-Iran war. The surcharge for one-way tickets to North America and Europe will drop from 65,000 yen to 50,000 yen. For tickets to China and Taiwan, the surcharge will decrease from 16,900 yen to 12,400 yen.
All Nippon Airways has also announced a similar reduction, setting surcharges at 55,000 yen for North America and Europe, and 14,300 yen for China and Taiwan. Fuel surcharges are fees added to airfares based on fluctuations in fuel costs. The decrease in fuel surcharges comes after the signing of a preliminary peace deal between the U.S. and Iran in mid-June, which resulted in a fall in fuel prices in June and July.
The future of fuel surcharges remains uncertain as U.S.-Iran negotiations to end the war are currently stalled.
