By April 2026, departing passengers will pay $55 in aviation and airport charges, up from $29 now.
SINGAPORE – Travellers flying out of Seletar Airport and those operating flights there will have to pay higher fees and levies from July 1 to cover rising operation and regulatory costs, said the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore and airport operator Changi Airport Group .
The levy helps fund the authority’s air hub development and regulatory functions. According to its latest annual report, CAAS collected $89.8 million in aviation levies in the financial year ended March 31, 2023, making it the authority’s second-largest source of income that year. A new minimum departure flight charge levied on aircraft operators will also be introduced, and it will be set at $1,100 per flight.
With the recovery of the aviation sector, CAG conducted a review of the airport’s fees in January and took in industry feedback. The new charges were approved and finalised in March. It will have to think about whether it may be better to deploy larger aircraft and fly from Changi Airport, or to stop flying to Singapore altogether, he added. Currently, Firefly operates six daily flights from Seletar to Subang.
“Given the uncertainties in the current economic and travel landscape, we are mindful of consumers’ price sensitivity and remain dedicated to providing stability and ensuring a seamless travel experience,” Firefly said.
