Overview
- Passengers will pay S$1 to S$41.60 per ticket based on four distance bands and cabin class, with premium cabins charged four times the economy rate.
- The levy applies to tickets sold from Apr 1, 2026 for flights departing on or after Oct 1, 2026, and airlines must show it as a separate line item.
- Levies flow into a statutory SAF fund managed by CAAS, with SAFCo tasked to centrally procure and allocate fuel and environmental attributes.
- Transit passengers are exempt, and separate charges apply to cargo on a per‑kg basis and to general and business aviation per aircraft size and distance.
- Announced amounts are lower than earlier estimates due to moderated SAF prices, and CAAS says rates will stay fixed for the 1% target with future reviews tied to higher SAF goals toward 2030.
