Armenian Airports and Aviation Infrastructure from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data on Armenian airports, heliports, helipads, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites, tagged via `aeroway`, `building`, or `emergency`. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) exported this data to HDX, where it was last updated on 2026-06-25. Coverage likely reflects areas where volunteer mappers have been active, potentially resulting in sparse representation of remote regions.

Use Cases

• Plan evacuation routes based on the locations of airports and emergency landing sites.
• Optimize logistics networks using the spatial distribution of airports and helipads.
• Conduct aerial-response planning by analyzing the network of runways and terminals.
• Assess aviation infrastructure coverage for urban versus remote areas of Armenia.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats, including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, KML, and GEOJSON.
• The dataset is derived from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.
• It includes a specific tag for emergency infrastructure (`emergency`), which is relevant for planning.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Coverage may be sparse in remote areas, as noted in the description.
