*JAL Group to raise thefuel surcharges on its international flights largely

JAL Group announced on June 3 that it has decided to raise the fuel surcharges on its international flight tickets available from July 1 to September 30 this year and has already applied for it to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. According to the plan, JAL Group will double the fuel surcharges to 5,000 yen on one wayfrom 2,500 yen on one way today on its long-haul international route. It is inevitable that the JAL's action will damage the overseas travel market in this summer as a family with four persons has to pay 40,000 yen additionally when they travel to Hawaii with a JAL flight, for example.
