Singapore plans to introduce a Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) levy starting January 1, 2027, for air passengers, according to the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS). The levy will be applied to ticket and service sales from October 1, 2026. The CAAS's non-profit subsidiary, Singapore Sustainable Aviation Fuel Company Ltd (SAFCo), will collect the levy and manage the procurement and allocation of SAF and SAF environmental attributes (EAs).
The collected funds will be placed in a statutory SAF Fund to finance SAF purchases and cover administrative expenses. The cargo sector will be exempt from the levy for one year, starting from January 1, 2028, allowing more time for CAAS to establish a robust collection mechanism for cargo shipments. CAAS Director-General Han Kok Juan emphasized the agency's goal of transforming Singapore into a trusted hub for SAF-related economic activities in the region.
