Denmark Airports and Aviation Infrastructure from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data for Denmark includes airports, heliports, helipads, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites tagged via `aeroway`, `building`, or `emergency` keys. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) exported 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 evacuation routes based on the locations of airports and emergency landing sites.
• Optimize logistics networks based on the spatial distribution of airports and heliports.
• Assess aviation infrastructure coverage for aerial-response planning using runway and terminal data.
• Cross-reference OSM-derived facility locations with other geospatial datasets for validation.

Strengths

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

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Completeness varies by region; remote areas may be incomplete.
