Singapore will require the use of some sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) on all flights departing the country from 2026 as part of a new sustainability blueprint published by the government ahead of the Singapore Airshow.
Transport Minister Chee Hong Tat revealed the blueprint during the Changi Aviation Summit, as he set out a plan to reduce domestic aviation emissions from airport operations by 20% in 2030, and to reach net zero domestic and international aviation emissions by 2050.
The minister said the blueprint established a balanced approach that would allow the industry to see growth and environmental sustainability for future generations.
He said: “The measures were developed after careful study and close consultation with domestic and international stakeholders, and we hope that they will help to catalyse the development of sustainable aviation in the region and around the world.”
