Singapore to introduce world's first SAF departure levy of up to S$41.60 per passenger from April 2026

Singapore will charge departing passengers up to S$41.60 from April 2026 via the world's first sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) levy, applied to all outbound flights. The fee — set lower than earlier forecasts — is intended to create a dedicated revenue stream to subsidize SAF procurement and cut aviation emissions.

Hydrogen aviation: regional entry by 2030, long‑haul slips into the 2040s — net‑zero by 2050 in doubt A new hydrogen roadmap forecasts hydrogen‑powered regional aircraft entering service around 2030, while mature long‑haul hydrogen airliners remain unlikely until the 2040s. The pathway depends heavily on carbon offsets and sustainable aviation fuel, making industry claims of hitting net‑zero by 2050 increasingly doubtful.
