Airports and Aviation Infrastructure of Chile from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data for Chile's airports, heliports, helipads, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites, tagged via `aeroway`, `building`, or `emergency` keys. The dataset is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and was last updated on 2026-06-26. Coverage reflects volunteer mapper activity, with urban areas likely better represented than remote regions.

Use Cases

• Plan logistics and supply routes based on airport and helipad locations.
• Model evacuation routing scenarios based on emergency landing site data.
• Conduct aerial-response planning based on mapped aviation infrastructure.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.
• Includes multiple feature types such as airports, helipads, runways, and emergency sites.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and GEOJSON.

Limitations

• Coverage may be sparse in remote areas, as it depends on volunteer mapper activity.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
