Eswatini Airports and Aviation Infrastructure from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data for airports, heliports, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites in Eswatini, exported by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team. The dataset includes features tagged via `aeroway`, `building`, or `emergency` keys. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas typically better mapped than remote areas.

Use Cases

• Plan evacuation routes based on the location of airports and emergency landing sites.
• Model logistics networks using the spatial distribution of airports and helipads.
• Assess aviation infrastructure coverage for aerial-response planning based on mapped runways and terminals.

Strengths

• Includes multiple aviation infrastructure types: airports, heliports, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites.
• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats: GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, GEOJSON, and JSON.
• Sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative mapping project.

Limitations

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