Airports and aviation infrastructure in Burkina Faso 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 2026-05-14 by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team.

Use Cases

• Plan evacuation routes based on the locations of airports and emergency landing sites.
• Optimize logistics networks using the locations of airports and helipads.
• Assess aviation infrastructure coverage for aerial-response planning.
• Cross-reference local field knowledge with mapped aviation facilities.

Strengths

• Covers multiple aviation facility types including airports, heliports, and runways.
• Derived from a free, collaborative global mapping project (OpenStreetMap).
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, and GEOJSON.

Limitations

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