In Australia, Asian Aviation reported that the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) will introduce a SAF Levy for all Origin-Destination passengers, Origin-Destination cargo shipments, and general and business aviation flights departing Singapore from 1 October 2026, applicable for tickets or services sold from April 1 2026.
The amount of the SAF Levy is set based on the volume of SAF needed to meet the 1% SAF target for 2026 and the projected price premium of SAF over conventional jet fuel and other associated costs, including the cost of certification, blending, and delivery, according to the report.
The SAF Levy for passengers is set on a per-passenger basis and varies based on the distance travelled, categorized by four geographical bands, and the cabin of travel, the report added.
The SAF Levy collected will go into a statutory SAF Fund managed by CAAS. The fund will be used solely for the purchase of SAF and/or SAF environmental attributes (EAs) and to cover associated administrative costs. The Singapore Sustainable Aviation Fuel Company (SAFCo) will manage the procurement, allocation, and administration of SAF and EAs.
