Departure

RWY 06 – Departures

Departure operations from RWY 06 at EDNY are structured around a limited number of operationally preferred SIDs in order to ensure terrain separation, efficient climb profiles and simplified regional traffic management.

BlueLake Airways only utilizes the following standard departure routes from RWY 06:

BEMKI Departures

Flights departing towards the northeast, east, southeast and south are routed via the BEMKI departures.

Applicable SID designators:

These departures provide the preferred routing structure for traffic transitioning towards southern Germany, Austria and eastern European destinations.

Due to the rapidly rising Alpine terrain south and southeast of EDNY, direct departures towards the southeast are operationally avoided. All traffic towards these sectors is therefore routed initially via BEMKI in order to ensure safe terrain clearance and structured departure sequencing.


AMIKI Departures

Flights departing towards the southwest are routed via the AMIKI departures.

Applicable SID designator:

This routing is primarily used for traffic towards Switzerland, France and southwestern European destinations.

The departure profile generally allows efficient climb management while maintaining separation from nearby cross-border airspace structures.


ALAGO Departures

Flights departing towards the northwest and north are routed via the ALAGO departures.

Applicable SID designator:

This departure is commonly used for traffic towards western and northern Germany as well as destinations further into northern Europe.

Due to the comparatively open terrain environment north of EDNY, climb restrictions are generally less demanding than on southern departure sectors.


Non-Standard SIDs

All other published RWY 06 SIDs are generally not utilized by BlueLake Airways and are therefore not planned during standard dispatch operations unless specifically required by ATC or operational necessity.


RWY 24 – Departures

RWY 24 departure operations follow the same general routing philosophy as RWY 06 operations, with departures structured around a reduced set of preferred SIDs optimized for terrain avoidance and operational efficiency.

BEMKI Departures

Flights departing towards the northeast, east, southeast and south utilize the BEMKI departures.

Applicable SID designators:

These procedures provide the preferred departure structure for traffic routing towards Austria, southern Germany and southeastern European destinations.

Due to terrain considerations associated with the Alpine region south and southeast of EDNY, direct southeast departures are not conducted. Aircraft are instead routed initially via BEMKI before continuing towards their planned route structure.


AMIKI Departures

Flights departing towards the southwest are routed via the AMIKI departures.

Applicable SID designator:

This departure is commonly used for traffic towards Switzerland, France and southwestern Europe and generally supports efficient transition into upper airspace structures west of Lake Constance.


ALAGO Departures

Flights departing towards the northwest and north utilize the ALAGO departures.

Applicable SID designator:

This SID provides the standard routing structure for northern and northwestern traffic flows departing EDNY.

Compared to southern departure sectors, terrain influence during the initial climb phase is significantly reduced.


Non-Standard SIDs

All other published RWY 24 SIDs are generally not utilized by BlueLake Airways and are therefore excluded from standard dispatch planning unless specifically required for operational reasons or ATC instructions.
