Singapore has approved a landmark bill on 14 October to impose a levy on all flights departing from the city-state to support the use of sustainable aviation fuel by airlines.
Singapore has set a target for sustainable aviation fuel to constitute 1 per cent of all jet fuel used at Changi Airport and Seletar Airport in 2026, before increasing the use to between 3% and 5% by 2030.
The levy, a first globally, will be paid to the Civil Aviation Authority (CAAS), which will manage demand and the bulk purchase of sustainable aviation fuel for all carriers refueling in Singapore.
