Airports and aviation infrastructure from OpenStreetMap, exported by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team. The data includes airports, heliports, helipads, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites tagged via `aeroway`, `building`, or `emergency` keys. It was last updated on 2026-05-14.

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 aviation infrastructure coverage for aerial-response planning using the mapped runways and terminals.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial file formats, including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• The dataset is derived from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Completeness varies by region; remote areas may be incompletely mapped according to the source description.
