Airports and Aviation Infrastructure of Bhutan from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data for Bhutan includes airports, heliports, helipads, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites tagged via `aeroway`, `building`, or `emergency`. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) exported this data on 2026-06-26. Coverage reflects where volunteer mappers have been active, with urban areas likely well represented and remote areas potentially sparse.

Use Cases

• Plan evacuation routes based on the locations of airports and emergency landing sites.
• Optimize logistics networks using the mapped locations of airports, heliports, and helipads.
• Coordinate aerial-response missions by identifying available aviation infrastructure like runways and terminals.

Strengths

• Data includes multiple aviation infrastructure types: airports, heliports, helipads, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats: GEOPACKAGE, SHP, HTML, GEOJSON, and JSON.
• Last updated on 2026-06-26 04:45:13.427906.

Limitations

• Coverage may be sparse in remote areas, as it reflects where volunteer mappers have been active.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
