Can Singapore aviation go green without losing ground?

Flying out of Singapore is about to get pricier. From 2026, a new sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) levy will kick in, adding between $1 and $41 to ticket prices — and even taxing cargo. What does this mean for travellers, airlines, and Singapore’s competitiveness as an air hub?

Host Derryn Wong speaks with SMU aviation expert Terence Fan to unpack what SAF really is, why it matters, how the levy works, and whether businesses or tourism might feel the pinch.

Highlights:

01:55 What is SAF?

07:15 Singapore’s levy policy

09:24 Impact on Changi’s business

11:28 How other countries are doing it
