Airports and Aviation Infrastructure of Cyprus from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data for Cyprus contains airports, heliports, helipads, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites tagged via `aeroway`, `building`, or `emergency` keys. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) exported this data to HDX, where it was last updated on 2026-06-27. Coverage reflects volunteer mapper activity, with urban areas typically well-represented and remote areas potentially sparse.

Use Cases

• Plan evacuation routes based on the locations of airports and emergency landing sites.
• Optimize aerial logistics and supply chains using airport and helipad infrastructure data.
• Assess emergency response capabilities by mapping available aviation facilities.
• Cross-reference volunteer-mapped aviation infrastructure with local field knowledge for critical decisions.

Strengths

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

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.
