JAL International Passenger Fare Fuel Surcharges
El Segundo, CA – Information as of August 18, 2006:

The JAL Group introduced fuel surcharges in February 2005 in response to rises in the cost of fuel.
Due to continued escalating fuel costs, the fuel surcharge effective for tickets issued on/after October 1st, 2006 will be amended.
The surcharge applies to flights operated by Japan Airlines and its international subsidiaries JALways and Japan Asia Airways including JAL code-share flights operated by other airlines.

JAL Group will reduce the surcharge once the price of Singapore kerosene falls below the benchmark of US$65.00 (Effective for tickets issued on/after October 1st ,2006 - US$80.00) per barrel within one consecutive month period. The surcharge will be progressively reduced as the price of fuel decreases, and will be cancelled completely when the price of Singapore kerosene falls below the benchmark of US$40.00 per barrel within one consecutive month period.
