This is unlike the conventional mandate in other countries for minimum SAF usage, which places the burden on individual airlines to purchase the cleaner jet fuel and adjust ticket prices themselves.
Singapore's decision to introduce a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) levy for outbound flights in 2026 may be unpopular among travellers, but experts say it is a forward-looking and innovative approach that will spur progress in sustainability.
Frederick Teo, CEO of Temasek subsidiary GenZero, says the levy structure provides “much-needed transparency and cost certainty” to travellers and airlines while enabling Singapore to meet its SAF ambitions.
