Antarctica Airports and Aviation Infrastructure from OpenStreetMap

Antarctica's airports, heliports, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites, exported from OpenStreetMap. The data is contributed by volunteers and maintained by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team. It was last updated on 2026-05-10.

Use Cases

• Plan logistics and supply routes based on airport and helipad locations.
• Model evacuation scenarios based on the network of emergency landing sites.
• Analyze aviation infrastructure density and distribution for research or operational planning.

Strengths

• Includes multiple aviation infrastructure types: airports, heliports, helipads, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites.
• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats: GEOPACKAGE, SHP, GEOJSON, and JSON.
• Last update timestamp is precisely recorded as 2026-05-10 15:09:28.616641.

Limitations

• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Completeness varies by region; remote areas of Antarctica may be incompletely mapped.
