 North flow 
 Runway 01 Southbound and Eastbound SIDs now branch off from BS120 instead of BUTBI. 
 
 Runway 02L / 02R Eastbound traffic for SELKA, LIPLI and DOSBU now branch off from BS146 instead of ASANI. 
 
 No changes to all propeller SIDs. 
 
 South flow 
 Runway 19 Traffic now initially turn toward BS950 then branches off to BS951 and BS954. GORSI/GOMES bound traffic now branches off from BS923 instead of ~BS951. 
 
 Runway 20L / 20R All eastbound traffic now directly turn from BS940 instead of branching off BS934. 
 
 STARs

 BS422 and BS423 have been added. They can be used for sequencing. 
 
 Southflow 
 BS522 has been added and could be used for sequencing. 
 
 Approaches 
 Runway 19, 20L and 20R ILS Z and RNP Z Initial Fix (IF) altitudes were updated. However, the altitudes at subsequent fixes remain unchanged. (LOTMU for 19 -> 2000ft / REVMO 20L -> 3000ft / OSEVA 20R -> 3000ft), so there is no change for vectoring.
