Rationale for Calibration of Vaccinated Travel Lane Quotas by Country and Setting Separate Sales Caps and Quotas for VTL (Land) and VTL (Air)

Debated in Parliament on 14 Feb 2022.

Summary written by AI (learn more)

The government implements Vaccinated Travel Lane quotas as a safeguard to manage public health risks, with separate systems for air and land travel.
For VTL (Air), quotas are allocated to airlines based on their submitted plans and managed dynamically by CAAS to align with demand and overall limits.
For VTL (Land) with Malaysia, quotas are set independently from air travel and determined by the number of designated buses crossing daily.
Quotas are not currently calibrated by individual country, as the system focuses on overall capacity and demand management across designated routes.

Mr Chua Kheng Wee Louis asked the Minister for Transport whether the Government will consider (i) calibrating current Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) quotas by country and its rationale for doing or not doing so, and (ii) setting separate sales caps and quotas for VTL (Land) as compared to VTL (Air) quotas.

S Iswaran

We have implemented quotas for the Vaccinated Travel Lanes (VTLs) as a safeguard to manage the public health risk.

For VTL (Air), the quota is allocated to airlines operating flights from VTL countries based on the plans they submit. The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) manages the quota allocation for each country and airline dynamically based on demand, and the total will be kept within the overall quota.

For VTL (Land) with Malaysia, the quota is set separately from VTL (Air) and is based on the number of designated buses entering each country per day.
