Japan Airlines Extends International Passenger Fare Fuel Surcharges
El Segundo, CA - August 10, 2005: Today the JAL Group requested approval from the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MLIT), to extend from October 1st 2005 until March 31st 2006, the fuel surcharge placed on all international passenger tickets between July 1st and September 30th.

JAL first introduced a fuel surcharge in February this year in response to rises in the cost of fuel. Since then continued fuel cost increases 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.
