Yes, the domestic airfares are more specifically addressed in article 4 & 5 of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications Order JAO-HANG No. 10350149191 of November 24, 2014. However your attention is directed to article 6 which addresses the International tariff.
Article 6: A Civil Air Transport Enterprise shall notify CAA for record of its own full passenger fares decided within the range of the approved ceiling and bottom tariffs, rates of cargo and luggage, and surcharges.It shall come into force on the 30th day starting from the date of filing for record. The same procedure applies in the event of changes.
You will note the key words, approved and surcharges. I don't doubt for a minute that the addition of a new surcharge will be quickly accepted, but I interpret the coolfish comment within this context. Article 4 and 5 sets out the required data that must be submitted along with the public opinion required for the domestic tariff. Although the same data is not required for the International tariff, the international tariff surcharges must still be approved.
