JAL Amends International Passenger Fare Fuel Surcharges | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
El Segundo, CA – March 15, 2006: The JAL Group received approval from the Canadian Transportation Agency to extend and increase the fuel surcharge placed on all international passenger tickets issued to and from Canada effective March 28, 2006. JAL introduced fuel surcharges in February 2005 in response to rises in the cost of fuel. Since then continued fuel cost increases have led JAL to review the amount of fuel surcharge levied. 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 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. Applicable for tickets issued in The Americas:
