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 (CAAS) and airport opChangi Airport Group erator (CAG).
The passenger service and security fee (PSSF), which goes to CAG, will go up from $25.90 to $41 in July.
It will rise again to $44 from April 2025, and then to $47 from April 2026, The Sunday Times has learnt.
These changes will bring the fee at Seletar Airport roughly in line with the $46.40 PSSF that CAG currently charges departing passengers at Changi Airport. CAG has said that the fee helps fund its operations and also goes towards infrastructure upgrading.
At the same time, the aviation levy by CAAS that departing passengers also have to pay will go up at Seletar Airport from $3.10 to $8, which is the same as what the authority is charging departing passengers at Changi The levy helps fund the authority's air hub development and regulatory functions.
The PSSF and the aviation levy are charged when passengers buy an air ticket, and these are on top of the airfare. They apply to paying travellers departing on commercial airlines, as well as those on private jets and some chartered flights, depending on the flight's purpose.
With these hikes, passengers departing Seletar will pay a total of $49 in aviation and airport charges from July, up from a total of $29 now. This will go up to $52 from April 2025, and $55 from April 2026.
Aircraft operators like flying schools and Malaysian budget carrier Firefly, which flies turboprop planes between Seletar and Subang near Kuala Lumpur, have not been spared either.
From July, aircraft landing and parking charges at the airport will go up, and these charges will continue to rise in 2025 and 2026.
