The levy will apply to tickets sold from Apr 1, 2026, for flights departing from Singapore on or after Oct 1, 2026, the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) said in a statement.
This means that if a ticket is bought before April 1 for a flight departing after October 1, the levy will not apply. Likewise, if a ticket is bought after April 1 for a flight before October 1, there will be no levy.
All destinations from Singapore will be grouped into four geographical bands:
- Band 1: Southeast Asia
- Band 2: Northeast Asia, South Asia, Australia and Papua New Guinea
- Band 3: Africa, Central and West Asia, Europe, the Middle East, the Pacific Islands and New Zealand
- Band 4: the Americas.
Passengers travelling to Band 1 destinations will pay S$1 (€0.66) if travelling in an economy cabin, which includes economy class and premium economy, and S$4 (€2.65) for a premium cabin, which includes business class and first class.
Band 2 passengers will pay S$2.80 (€1.86) and S$11.20 (€7.43) for an economy cabin and a premium cabin, respectively.
Band 3 passengers will pay S$6.40 (€4.25) and S$25.60 (€17), and Band 4 passengers will pay S$10.40 (€6.90) and S$41.60 (€27.60) for an economy cabin and premium cabin respectively.
The levy will not apply to passengers transiting through Singapore. For flights with multiple stops, the levy will be based on the immediate next destination after departing Singapore.
The announcement of the levy amounts comes after CAAS said last month that it had set up a new entity to centrally procure sustainable aviation fuel and secure a more affordable and stable supply for Singapore and the region.
