Gho Sze Kee on Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (Amendment) Bill
Passengers departing from Changi Airport are already charged total fees and levies “significantly higher” than other regional air hubs, with the amount projected to rise further over the next five years. And while Changi currently offers “unique value propositions”, its competitors are learning and improving to beat it at its own game. Meanwhile, Singapore is also a key air cargo hub and cargo customers tend to be more cost-sensitive and immune to “intangibles” like the Changi experience. MP Gho Sze Kee made these points in parliament on Tuesday (Oct 14), seeking assurances that the cost structures of a sustainable aviation fuel levy will be closely monitored and that Singapore will remain competitive as an air hub even as it pursues its sustainability goals.
