All Nippon Airways and Japan Airlines increased international fuel surcharges to 65,000 yen (~$400) for long-haul flights to Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Oceania, effective 1 July through 31 August 2026. The hike applies despite dropping jet-fuel rates in Asia, as operators calculate fees using a lagged reference period averaging $178.21 per barrel from April and May. This marks a record level, more than double the ~$200 collected in April, coinciding with a 40-year low for the yen against the US dollar. Hawaii-bound tickets rose to approximately 40,400 yen (~$250). Surcharges are expected to drop for September and October tickets, reflecting lower average jet fuel rates from June and July.
