Revenue from the fees will be used for new investments in the airport’s infrastructure to the tune of S$3 billion.
Passengers walk towards the departure transit hall at Singapore's Changi Airport on Mar 14, 2024. Fees payable by passengers departing from Changi Airport will rise from the current S$46.40 to S$58.40 by April 2030.Airlines will also have to pay higher landing, parking and aerobridge charges from April next year, but they get a 50 per cent rebate on the increases for the first six months.
The airport has taken steps to manage its costs but these were not enough to cover the increases, Mr Yam said. This means that by the end of the last increase in 2030, the fee will be S$18 for all transiting passengers. A narrow-body Airbus A320 aircraft, for example, would have a landing, parking and aerobridge charge of S$1,200 per landing now.
“In context, the annual increase for a narrow-body works out to between 40 cents to 80 cents per seat,” said Mr Jeffrey Loke, senior vice president of pricing and commercial strategy at Changi Airport Group.Changi Airport and CAAS said they have engaged the major airlines on the revised charges. Responding to media questions on whether the higher fees could hurt Singapore’s competitive edge as an air hub, CAAS director-general Han Kok Juan said the country remains “well poised” to serve growing demand in the region.
