Austrian Airports and Aviation Infrastructure from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data for Austria includes airports, heliports, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites. The dataset is compiled by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team and was last updated in June 2026. Coverage reflects volunteer mapper activity, with urban areas typically well-represented.

Use Cases

• Plan evacuation routes based on emergency landing site locations.
• Optimize logistics networks using airport and helipad locations.
• Model aerial response capabilities based on runway and terminal infrastructure.

Strengths

• Includes multiple aviation infrastructure types: airports, heliports, runways, terminals, and emergency sites.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats: GEOPACKAGE, SHP, KML, and GEOJSON.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Coverage may be sparse in remote areas due to reliance on volunteer mappers.
