        "summary": "Japanese airlines ANA and JAL are set to increase fuel surcharges on international flights from June due to surging aviation fuel prices triggered by Middle East conflicts, potentially impacting summer travel demand. The hikes, affecting routes to Europe, North America, China, Taiwan, South Korea, and Russia, could see surcharges rise to as much as 55,000 yen for ANA on transatlantic flights. In Indonesia, officials note that high domestic avtur prices, now fully produced locally, are driving up ticket costs, with plans underway to reduce them to ease passenger burdens.",
        "content": "<p>Two Japanese airlines\u2014ANA and JAL\u2014are expected to raise fuel\nsurcharges on international flights starting in June amid a surge in\nprices due to the Middle East conflict, according to a source on\nWednesday (1\/4). This move is likely to affect summer holidays and raise\nconcerns about travel demand. The fuel surcharge for flights to Europe\nand North America in June-July is planned to reach 55,000 yen\n(approximately Rp6.2 million) for ANA, an increase of 23,100 yen from\nApril-May. JAL is expected to raise its surcharge by 21,000 yen to\n50,000 yen, the source said. For routes to China and Taiwan, ANA\u2019s\nsurcharge is expected to rise by 4,900 yen to 14,300 yen, while JAL\u2019s\nwill increase by 5,000 yen to 12,400 yen. Surcharges to South Korea and\nRussia are likely to rise to 6,500 yen for ANA and 5,900 yen for JAL,\nthe highest levels in the current system. Aviation fuel (avtur) is\nproduced from crude oil refining. Its price in the Singapore market has\nmore than doubled in March compared to before the late February\nconflict. Surcharges are calculated based on the average avtur price\nevery two months. For example, the February-March price will affect\nfares in June-July. Although not applicable to domestic flights, JAL is\nconsidering implementing the system from spring 2027 to anticipate\nlong-term oil price increases. ANA and Skymark Airlines are also\nconsidering similar steps, the source said. SAS cancels over 130 flights\nin Norway due to avtur price surge from tensions in the Strait of\nHormuz. Unions highlight staff issues amid the energy crisis. Executive\nDirector of ReforMiner Institute Komaidi Notonegoro revealed that avtur\nprices are not the main cause of high domestic flight ticket prices.\nMinister of Tourism and Creative Economy Sandiaga Salahuddin Uno stated\nthat the government plans to lower avtur prices to press down flight\nticket prices. Spokesperson for the Ministry of Transportation\n(Kemenhub) Adita Irawati said that high prices of Indonesian airline\ntickets are caused by high avtur prices as well. Indonesian avtur is now\n100% produced domestically, thus saving quite a lot of costs.<\/p>",
