The first barometer was released in August showing that in the first quarter, passenger arrival and departure growth had risen by 8.4% and 8.6% respectively.
The figures are intended to inform longer-term planning based on the demand of routes, including for the tourism and hospitality industries.
Acsa said on Tuesday domestic arrivals had risen 3.8% year on year and departures 3.7%.
Total arrivals at King Shaka International Airport in Durban rose 8.4% over the period, attributed to the introduction of new airlines at the airport, including Ethiopian Airlines which introduced a direct flight to Addis Ababa in December 2015.
Acsa said third quarter numbers were traditionally lower due to the northern hemisphere summer, although regional performance was strong with a 7.8% increase in regional arrivals compared to 2015.
In the second quarter of 2016, passenger arrivals increased 4.6% year-on-year. Passenger departures rose 5.8%.
