Jetstar sees changes to flights as Singapore airport fees rise
Jetstar said Singapore's move to raise passenger fees at Changi Airport will compel the carrier to "shift flights around" to cope with changes in demand and may impact the city-state's aviation hub status. The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore said earlier it would introduce a new airport development levy effective July 1 of S$10.80 for passengers who begin their trips from Changi and S$3.00 for those transiting. Changi Airport is also raising a passenger service and security fee, currently at S$27.90, by S$2.50 from July 2018. The fees will also be increased by S$2.50 annually over the next 6 years from April 2019. The measures are to help fund the city-state's airport expansion plans, which include a fifth terminal that is to be completed around 2030. <br/>
