Botswana Airports and Aviation Infrastructure from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data for Botswana includes airports, heliports, helipads, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites. The dataset is exported by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team and was last updated on 2026-05-14. Completeness may vary by region, with urban areas likely being better mapped than remote ones.

Use Cases

• Plan evacuation routes based on the locations of airports and emergency landing sites.
• Analyze aviation infrastructure coverage for logistics and supply chain planning.
• Map helipad and runway locations for aerial-response planning.
• Cross-reference OSM aviation data with local field knowledge for critical decision-making.

Strengths

• Includes multiple aviation infrastructure types tagged via `aeroway`, `building`, and `emergency` keys.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Last updated on 2026-05-14, indicating recent maintenance.

Limitations

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