Singapore will introduce a levy between 75 cents and $32 on flights departing from Changi International Airport starting October 1 to finance sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). The levy varies based on flight distance and cabin class, with the lowest charge for regional economy flights.

Singapore is constructing a next-gen SAF plant, while Thailand, Malaysia, and Vietnam are also enhancing their SAF capabilities. The region could produce 8.5 million barrels of SAF daily by 2050. However, the slowdown in U.S. SAF production growth poses challenges.
