Japan Airlines has requested approval from the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism to revise down the fuel surcharges applied on all its international passenger tickets issued between 1 August 2013 and 30 September 2013. JAL sets fuel surcharge levels bimonthly based on the 2-month average price of Singapore kerosene-type jet fuel. The price of Singapore kerosene-type jet fuel during the two month period of April and May 2013 averaged US$115.94 per barrel. With reference to the fuel surcharge benchmark list for fiscal year 2013, this corresponds to Zone F of fuel surcharges. From August to September 2013, it will range from 2,000 yen on a Japan - Korea ticket, to 21,000 yen on a Japan-USA ticket per person per sector flown, on tickets purchased in Japan. This level of surcharge will be applied to all international passenger tickets issued between 1 August and 30 September 2013.
