Singapore defers sustainable aviation fuel levy for air cargo
In Singapore, Channel News Asia reported that Singapore will delay the introduction of a sustainable aviation fuel levy for air cargo by another year, while going ahead with the rollout for travellers from January 2027, according to the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS).
As previously announced, origin-destination passengers who buy tickets from October 1 this year for flights departing Singapore from January 1, 2027, will have to pay the SAF levy. The same timeline will apply to general and business aviation flights, and the levy must be reflected as a distinct line item in the fare breakdown, said CAAS.
The levy on air cargo shipments, however, will be deferred by one year following industry feedback. It will now apply to services sold from October 1, 2027, for flights departing Singapore from January 1, 2028, according to the report.
