Earlier media reports said that many Chinese carriers, including China Southern Airlines, have requested CAAC to levy fuel surcharges after jet fuel prices went up by 1,030 yuan ($151) to 5,050 yuan ($740) per ton on June 30.

A director of CAAC cleared all speculations on Tuesday, saying: "We have not received any formal requests from airlines."
