OpenStreetMap exports for Belize contain airports, heliports, helipads, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites tagged via `aeroway`, `building`, or `emergency`. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) maintains this export, last updated on 2026-05-14. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas usually well-mapped and remote areas potentially incomplete.
Use Cases
Plan evacuation routing based on the locations of airports and emergency landing sites.
Optimize logistics networks using the mapped locations of airports, heliports, and terminals.
Coordinate aerial-response planning by analyzing the distribution of aviation infrastructure.
Cross-reference local field knowledge with the mapped data for critical decision-making.
Strengths
Includes multiple aviation infrastructure types: airports, heliports, helipads, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites.
