Central African Republic Airports and Aviation Infrastructure from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports provide airports, heliports, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites for the Central African Republic. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) maintains this dataset, last updated on 2026-05-14. Data completeness varies by region, with urban areas typically better mapped than remote locations.

Use Cases

• Plan evacuation routes based on airport and helipad locations.
• Coordinate aerial-response logistics using runway and terminal infrastructure data.
• Assess aviation infrastructure coverage for remote areas based on OSM completeness warnings.

Strengths

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

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Completeness varies by region; remote areas may be incompletely mapped according to the source notes.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
