Customers booking air charter services next month departing from Singapore will have to pay a new national sustainale aviation fuel (SAF) levy, applicable to flights departing on or after October 1. The scheme—part of a national SAF mandate announced in November—is intended to help Singapore meet its 1% aviation fuel blending target for this year.

All commercial passengers, be they airline customers or private charter users, will be subject to the levy, charged on a per-aircraft basis and varying depending on the distance traveled. The actual amount rises across four geographical bands and the aircraft’s size.
