Japan Airlines to slash fuel surcharge by 85% on flights to Hawaii
Advertiser Staff
Japan Airlines said it will slash fuel surcharge in April In the wake of declining oil prices — a move that could spur more travel to the Islands.
Japan Airlines, following a similar move by All Nippon Airways, said its "international fare fuel furcharge" will drop by 85 percent on flights between Japan and Hawai'i beginning April 1. ANA had made its announcement earlier this month.
The reduction may help boost the number of Japanese visitors to Hawai'i — which has slumped in recent months. The move followed a 34 percent fuel surcharge decrease in January.
The latest reduction will lower the fuel surcharge to $20 each way from $135 each way on trips between Japan and Hawaii. The surcharge on a roundtrip ticket will drop to $40 from $270.
