Airports and Aviation Infrastructure in Chad from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports for Chad contain airports, heliports, helipads, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites tagged via `aeroway`, `building`, or `emergency` keys. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) provides this data, which was last updated on 2026-05-15. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas likely being more complete than remote areas.

Use Cases

• Plan logistics and supply chains based on airport and helipad locations.
• Route evacuations and emergency responses based on mapped aviation infrastructure.
• Analyze aviation network coverage and gaps based on the described OSM tags.
• Support aerial survey and mission planning based on runway and landing site data.

Strengths

• Data is provided in multiple geospatial formats (GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON).
• Includes a variety of aviation infrastructure types as described: airports, heliports, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites.
• Last update timestamp is precisely recorded as 2026-05-15 09:07:10.458959.
