Belgium Airports and Aviation Infrastructure from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap volunteers provide airports, heliports, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites across Belgium. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) exports this data, last updated in May 2026. Completeness varies, with urban areas likely better mapped than remote regions.

Use Cases

• Plan evacuation routes based on emergency landing site locations.
• Optimize aerial logistics and response planning using helipad and airport data.
• Analyze aviation infrastructure coverage and density across Belgium.

Strengths

• Includes multiple feature types like airports, helipads, and runways tagged via OSM keys.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Data is sourced from the collaborative OpenStreetMap project and exported by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Completeness varies by region; remote areas may be incomplete.
