Aeroplan fuel surcharges (YQ) collected on the following airlines:
Air Canada (AC)
Lufthansa (LH)
All Nippon Airways (NH)
Asiana (OZ)
Thai (TG)
Austrian Airlines (OS)
LOT Polish Airlines (LO)
TAP Portugal (TP)
Adria Airways (JP)
Aeroplan fuel surcharges (YQ) NOT charged on these airlines:
Aegean Airlines (A3)

Air India (AI)
Air New Zealand (NZ)
Avianca/TACA (AV)
Brussels (SN)
Copa (CM)

EgyptAir (MS)
Ethiopian (ET)
Eva Air (BR)
SAS (SK)
Shenzhen (ZH)
Singapore (SQ)
South African Airways (SA)

Turkish (TK)
United (UA)
*Keep in mind AC charges YQ for the entire trip sometimes, so if you do YYZ-PVG-MEL on AC/CA or YYZ-NRT-AKL on AC/NZ, even though the last two segments are not supposed to be charged YQ - AC will charge YQ based on distance of YYZ-MEL/AKL.
Aeroplan's last official statement on fuel surcharges including an important statement that all fuel surcharges are requested by AC, and not by AE or the operating carriers: All fuel surcharge amounts are applied by Aeroplan on behalf of the ticketing carrier and are passed through directly to the ticketing carrier.

I just booked two J tickets on ANA, YVR-HND return and there was no YQ. Taxes and fees only about $76 each. OTOH though, 150k AP miles for a flight in J that is shorter than YVR - FRA which is 140k in F. that irks me.
I was looking at different destinations in Japan and none seemed to have YQ. does this mean that NH can be added to the "little or no fuel-surcharges" list?

Look at the chart in the link I posted and note Japan-Korea.
E Bodo might also have been the lucky recipient of a math error.

Others here can explain it better, but like HKG etc, there are different rules applying to where the flight departs from, arrives to or transit through.

I have a question re the Wiki table of those airlines that do and those that don't charge YQ. The table uses the terminology "Aeroplan fuel surcharges" - is this different from "paid flight" fuel surcharges?
My wife is booking a YYZ - IST - CAI paid return trip in Y, flying TK and MS only. On a return ticket totalling $1,111 the fuel surcharge listed is $577, yet both TK and MS are in the "No Aeroplan fuel surcharges" list. What's happening?

Since its AC collecting them, and not the operating carrier requesting them, the collection can be random.
