Chief integration officer of Imperial Logistics Cobus Rossouw said that the two companies could not compete if SAA Cargo was not regulated by the same market pressures.
"It is a small market that is highly price-sensitive, and if you've only got two players, it doesn't work if one player is not commercially sensitive [to market pressures]," Rossouw was quoted as saying.
Imperial Logistics wrote to the Competition Commission to request a market inquiry.
SAA spokesperson Tlali Tlali said the airline had not yet received notification from the commission.
Rossouw said Imperial Logistics had to survive on tight profit margins to remain sustainable, in contrast to SAA Cargo, which was cross-subsidised either by the SAA passenger service or government bailouts.
