Airports and Aviation Infrastructure of the Central African Republic

OpenStreetMap data for the Central African Republic contains airports, heliports, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites tagged via `aeroway`, `building`, or `emergency`. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) exports this data, which was last updated on 2026-06-24. Coverage reflects volunteer mapper activity, with urban areas typically well-represented and remote areas potentially sparse.

Use Cases

• Plan humanitarian evacuation routes based on mapped airport and helipad locations.
• Optimize aerial logistics and supply delivery based on runway and terminal infrastructure.
• Identify potential emergency landing sites for disaster response based on tagged `emergency` features.

Strengths

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

Limitations

• Coverage is uneven, with urban areas well-represented and remote areas likely sparse.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
