Airports and Aviation Infrastructure of Burkina Faso from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data for Burkina Faso's aviation infrastructure, including airports, helipads, and runways. The dataset is compiled by volunteer mappers from the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team and was last updated on 2026-06-24. Coverage is likely more complete in urban areas than remote regions.

Use Cases

• Plan evacuation routes based on mapped emergency landing sites.
• Analyze aviation infrastructure density for logistics network planning.
• Identify potential gaps in aerial response coverage based on volunteer mapper activity.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.
• Includes multiple export formats such as GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Last updated on 2026-06-24 09:08:09.754522.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Coverage may be sparse in remote areas due to reliance on volunteer mapper activity.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
