Green jet fuel levy for air cargo deferred for a year
[SINGAPORE] A green jet fuel levy for air cargo will be deferred for a year and start from Oct 1, 2027, for flights...
The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) has announced that a proposed green jet fuel levy for air cargo will be postponed for one year, beginning on October 1, 2027, with implementation starting from January 1, 2028. This decision comes after considering the industry's feedback, which deemed that a one-year deferment would provide ample time to develop and implement a robust, sustainable aviation fuel levy collection mechanism specifically for cargo shipments on departing flights.
The levy is set to generate funds for purchasing sustainable aviation fuel. Airlines, freight forwarders, and shippers all play a role in the air cargo sector, each having distinct commercial arrangements, which contributed to the decision to delay the levy.
