Singapore affirms and supports ICAO as the most appropriate United Nations agency with the relevant expertise and impetus to address international aviation emissions within the complexities presented by the trans-boundary nature of air travel and the regulated bilateral regime for air services.

We work closely with other Asia-Pacific States and industry players to optimise route processes over the Bay of Bengal and across the South China Sea. This has resulted in annual fuel savings of more than 12,000 tonnes of CO2 per annum.

On air traffic management, we have implemented initiatives to improve aircraft flow, reduce runway occupancy time and increase capacity to achieve an estimated reduction of 4,000 tonnes of carbon emission per annum.
