Airports and Aviation Infrastructure in Guinea-Bissau from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports for Guinea-Bissau contain airports, heliports, helipads, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites tagged via `aeroway`, `building`, or `emergency` keys. The data is compiled by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and was last updated on 2026-05-15. Completeness of the underlying OpenStreetMap data varies by region, with urban areas usually well-mapped and remote areas potentially incomplete.

Use Cases

• Plan logistics and supply chains based on airport and runway locations.
• Route emergency evacuations based on helipad and landing site infrastructure.
• Model aerial response capabilities based on terminal and building data.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats (GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON).
• Source data is from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.
• Dataset was last updated on 2026-05-15.

Limitations

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