National Development and Reform Commission / 国家发改委

The National Development and Reform Commission appears in 商业小样46 | 买机票时,为什么总要多交两笔钱? as the Chinese pricing regulator that works with [[CivilAviationAdministrationOfChina|CAAC]] to set monthly domestic [[AviationFuelSurcharge|aviation fuel surcharge]] upper limits. The source uses this role to show that domestic fuel surcharge levels are policy-governed rather than left entirely to airline discretion.

In the episode’s pricing mechanism, the commission matters because a volatile energy input has to become a standardized consumer-facing charge. That connects national price regulation to airline cost recovery, passenger demand, and the boundary of Aviation Fuel Cost Pass-Through.
