Hong Kong Airport and Helipad Locations from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap features matching tags for aeroway, aerodrome buildings, and emergency helipads or landing sites in China's Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. The dataset is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team and was last updated on 2026-03-03. It includes attributes such as name, aeroway type, building classification, address details, and operator type.

Use Cases

• Map airport and helipad locations based on the 'aeroway' and 'emergency:helipad' tags.
• Analyze facility operator types based on the 'operator:type' attribute.
• Study multilingual naming conventions for facilities using the 'name:en' and 'name:zh' fields.
• Assess potential capacity using the 'capacity:persons' attribute where available.

Strengths

• Includes multiple geospatial file formats (GARMIN IMG, GEOPACKAGE, GEOJSON, SHP, KML) for tool flexibility.
• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a collaborative and openly licensed mapping project.
• Attributes cover operational details like 'aeroway' type and 'operator:type'.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Freshness should be verified as the last update date is in the future (2026-03-03).
