Airports in United Arab Emirates: Geospatial Coordinates with HXL Tags

This geospatial dataset provides a list of airports across the United Arab Emirates, including latitude and longitude coordinates. Sourced from OurAirports community data and hosted on HDX, the records were last updated in March 2026 to support transportation and infrastructure mapping.

Use Cases

• Mapping aviation infrastructure in the UAE using latitude and longitude coordinates
• Spatial analysis of transportation networks and accessibility within the Middle East
• Integrating airport locations into humanitarian logistics planning via HXL-tagged fields

Strengths

• Public Domain license allows for unrestricted commercial and academic reuse
• Includes HXL tags for immediate integration into humanitarian data standards
• Provides precise latitude and longitude coordinates for GIS applications

Limitations

• Data is unverified community-sourced information from OurAirports rather than an official civil aviation authority
• Specific attribute columns beyond coordinates are not explicitly defined in the source metadata
• Potential for crowdsourcing errors in facility naming or classification
