Cameroon Airports and Aviation Infrastructure from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data exports for Cameroon include airports, heliports, helipads, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) compiled this data, which was last updated on 2026-05-14. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas typically better mapped than remote locations.

Use Cases

• Plan evacuation routes based on the locations of airports and emergency landing sites.
• Map logistics networks using the locations of airports, helipads, and terminals.
• Assess aviation infrastructure coverage for aerial-response planning using tagged aeroway features.

Strengths

• Includes multiple aviation infrastructure types (airports, heliports, runways, terminals).
• Data is available in multiple geospatial file formats (GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, GEOJSON).
• Last updated on 2026-05-14, suggesting recent maintenance.

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.
