TRAVELLERS departing Singapore will have to fork out more for their air tickets from 2026, with the imposition of a levy that supports the use of sustainable aviation fuel. The levy will vary by distance and class of travel. The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) said on Monday (Feb 19) that it estimates the levies for a direct, economy class flight from Singapore to Bangkok, Tokyo and London to be S$3, S$6 and S$16, respectively. The levy is among initiatives under the new Singapore Sustainable Air Hub Blueprint, which sets out the country’s plans to reach net-zero aviation emissions by 2050.   https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/companies-markets/transport-logistics/outbound-travellers-singapore-pay-levy-2026-part-sustainable   (ICE SINGAPORE)
