Both of Japan’s major airlines have lifted their surcharge ceilings to a record 74,000 yen.
However, the July-August levies will stay below those caps because JAL and ANA plan to apply government subsidies.
For May and June tickets on routes to North America and Europe, JAL had already raised its surcharge to 56,000 yen from 29,000 yen in April, while ANA increased its charge to 56,000 yen from 31,900 yen.
