Belize Airports and Aviation Infrastructure from OpenStreetMap

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.
• Data is available in multiple geospatial file formats: GEOPACKAGE, KML, HTML, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON.
• Last updated on 2026-05-14, indicating recent maintenance.

Limitations

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