Djibouti Airports and Aviation Infrastructure from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports from May 2026 provide geospatial data on aviation infrastructure in Djibouti. The dataset includes airports, heliports, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites, compiled by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT). It is useful for logistics, evacuation routing, and aerial-response planning.

Use Cases

• Plan evacuation routes based on the locations of airports and emergency landing sites.
• Map aviation logistics networks using the included aeroway and building infrastructure.
• Identify potential landing zones for aerial response operations using helipad and runway data.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Dataset is explicitly tagged with OpenStreetMap keys (aeroway, building, emergency) for structured querying.
• Last updated on 2026-05-15, indicating recent maintenance.

Limitations

• Completeness varies by region; remote areas may be incompletely mapped according to the description.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
