*The travel industry cries for longer time until collection of fuel surcharges

Japan Association of Travel Agents (JATA) and major travel agents officiallyrequested JAL and ANA to begin collecting the additional fuel surcharges 40 days later than their acquiring approvals at least. Collection of the fuel surcharges vary with airlines in when they start collecting and how much they collect, and the term between the airlines' acquiring approvals from the authority and their beginning collection of the additional fuel surcharges is too short for travel agents that must notify their customers of the additional charges onthe travel products.
