Cuban Airports and Aviation Infrastructure from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap volunteer mappers have tagged airports, helipads, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites across Cuba. The data is useful for logistics, evacuation routing, and aerial-response planning but coverage may be sparse in remote areas. It was last updated on 2026-06-27 by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team.

Use Cases

• Plan humanitarian evacuation routes based on tagged airports and emergency landing sites.
• Analyze aviation infrastructure density for logistics planning based on mapped aeroway features.
• Cross-reference aerial-response capabilities based on the locations of helipads and runways.

Strengths

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

Limitations

• Coverage reflects where volunteer mappers have been active; remote areas may be sparse.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
