Japan Airlines and its subsidiary Japan Transocean Air have applied to Japanese authorities to adjust fuel surcharges on international flight tickets issued between 1 November and 31 December 2026.
The proposed surcharge is based on the average Singapore kerosene price of $159.19 per barrel in August and September 2026, which converts to 25,089 yen at an exchange rate of 157.61 yen per dollar; although this price would normally place the surcharge in tier T, the airlines are requesting the lower tier S under state support measures linked to the Middle East situation, with the exact amount varying by route and pending regulatory approval.
