Travellers look at the flight departure schedule on the screen at Singapore Changi airport on December 7, 2022.
Flights departing from Singapore will cost more from 2026 as the country pushes ahead with its aviation industry decarbonization goals.
The initiative is part of a sustainable air hub blueprint which was unveiled by the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) on the eve of the Singapore Airshow.
To achieve the ambitious 1% target by 2026, travelers flying out of Singapore will have to be prepared to pay higher air fares.
In 2021, the International Air Transport Association and member airlines committed to reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
