Cabo Verde Airports and Aviation Infrastructure from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports for Cabo Verde contain airports, heliports, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites tagged via `aeroway`, `building`, or `emergency`. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) maintains this export on HDX. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas usually well-mapped and remote areas potentially incomplete.

Use Cases

• Plan evacuation routes based on the locations of airports and emergency landing sites.
• Map aviation logistics networks using the included airports, heliports, and runways.
• Support aerial-response planning by identifying helipad and terminal infrastructure.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.
• Includes multiple aviation infrastructure types: airports, heliports, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats: GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON.

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.
