Airports and Aviation Infrastructure of Burundi from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap volunteer mappers have tagged airports, heliports, runways, and emergency landing sites across Burundi. The dataset is useful for logistics, evacuation routing, and aerial-response planning, but coverage may be sparse in remote areas. It was last updated on 2026-06-26 by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT).

Use Cases

• Plan evacuation routes based on mapped emergency landing sites.
• Analyze aviation infrastructure density for logistics planning based on tagged aeroways and buildings.
• Model aerial-response capabilities based on the locations of airports and helipads.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.
• Includes multiple geospatial file formats: GEOPACKAGE, SHP, KML, GEOJSON, and JSON.
• License is ODbL-1.0, which permits sharing and adaptation with attribution.

Limitations

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