In order to cover higher operational expenses, the origin-destination PSSF will be revised to S$40.40 from 1 November, increasing to S$43.40 on 1 April next year and S$46.40 on 1 April 2024.
The planned increases on 2021 and 2022 rates were paused due to the pandemic’s impact, meaning the origin-destination PSSF since 1 April 2020 has stayed at S$35.40.
From 1 November this year, the landing, parking and aerobridge (LPA) charges for all flights operating at Changi Airport will be increased by 2%.
