Airports and aviation infrastructure for the British Virgin Islands exported from OpenStreetMap. The data includes airports, heliports, helipads, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites tagged via `aeroway`, `building`, or `emergency` keys. It was last updated on 2026-05-15 and is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT).

Use Cases

• Plan evacuation routes based on emergency landing site locations.
• Optimize logistics networks using airport and heliport locations.
• Map aviation infrastructure for regional planning based on aeroway and building features.
• Assess aerial response capabilities using runway and terminal data.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• The dataset is derived from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative mapping project.
• It covers a specific geographic region, the British Virgin Islands.

Limitations

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