Singapore will introduce sustainable aviation fuel tax from 2026
Singapore's Minister for Transport and Second Minister for Finance, Chee Fong Tat, unveiled a blueprint for Singapore's Sustainable Aviation Hub at the Changi Aviation Summit on Feb. 19, setting medium- and long-term targets for reducing emissions in domestic and international aviation. To achieve the decarbonization goal, flights from Singapore will be required to use more environmentally friendly Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) from 2026 onwards, with a starting target of increasing SAF usage to 1% of total fuel, rising to 3% to 5% by 2030. In addition, passengers will be required to pay a sustainable aviation fuel levy at the time of purchase.
