2026.5.12(4.7) 国内線への燃油サーチャージ導入検討 JAPANESE AIRLINES MAY ADD FUEL FEES FOR DOMESTIC FLIGHTS 日本の航空会社国内線のための燃料費を追加するかもしれない
NHK has learned the surge in crude oil prices has prompted some Japanese airlines to consider adding fuel surcharges for domestic flights. This comes as the country's two biggest airlines announced last week they would hike fuel prices for international routes. Almost no carriers currently apply the charges for travel within Japan.
Japan Airlines and Skymark Airlines responded to a survey by saying they may start applying the charges next spring.
Sky mark, in addition, may raise ticket prices before collecting fuel surcharges.
Most of the other survey carriers are exploring the possibility of raising airfares for domestic routes. A group representing domestic airlines says a key price index for jet fuel has jumped roughly two and a half times since the U.S. and Israel launched attacks on Iran in late February.
Japan Transport Minister Kaneko Yasushi said he will continue to ask airlines to provide consumers with clear explanations of any changes.

Nana is guided by Somchai, the factory manager, as she carefully observes the production line.
Listening Point
Why do the operators have to double-check?
🅰Because the automated inspection occasionally overlooks tiny defects.
Somchai: This is our main assembly line for automotive chips.
Nana: Let me see. Well, the workflow looks smooth at first glance. Do the operators often catch problems here on the spot?
S: Yes, they do. The automated inspection occasionally overlooks tiny defects, so the staff has to double-check.
N: Staff are double checking manually手作業で? That defeats the purpose of automating inspection. You're saying the defects are concentrated in the soldering ✍process工程, right?
S: Yes, mostly in soldering, but the cause isn't always clear.
N: I see. I'll spend some time observing the details. Sometimes the smallちょっとした routines bring out the bigger issues.
S: Exactly, so let's move on to the next line.
