Airports and Aviation Infrastructure of Eritrea from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data on aviation infrastructure in Eritrea, including airports, heliports, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites. The dataset was compiled by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team and last updated on 2026-06-27. Coverage reflects volunteer mapper activity, with urban areas likely better represented than remote regions.

Use Cases

• Map logistics networks for aid delivery using the locations of runways and terminals.
• Assess aviation infrastructure coverage for aerial-response planning based on tagged aeroway features.

• Includes multiple geospatial file formats (GEOPACKAGE, SHP, KML, GEOJSON, JSON).
• Last updated date is precisely recorded as 2026-06-27 05:33:50.379621.

Limitations

• Coverage may be sparse in remote areas, as noted in the description.
