Airports and Aviation Infrastructure of Denmark from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data for Denmark's aviation infrastructure, including airports, heliports, runways, and emergency landing sites. The dataset is compiled by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and was last updated on 2026-06-27. Coverage likely reflects areas where volunteer mappers have been active.

Use Cases

• Plan evacuation routes based on the locations of airports and emergency landing sites.
• Optimize logistics networks using the spatial distribution of airports and helipads.
• Assess aerial response capabilities by analyzing the density and type of aviation infrastructure.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Includes diverse aviation features such as airports, heliports, runways, terminals, and emergency sites.

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.
