Guyana Airports and Aviation Infrastructure from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports provide airports and aviation infrastructure for Guyana. The data includes airports, heliports, helipads, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites tagged via `aeroway`, `building`, or `emergency` keys. This dataset was last updated on 2026-05-14 by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team.

Use Cases

• Plan evacuation routes based on the location of airports and emergency landing sites.
• Optimize logistics networks using the spatial distribution of aviation infrastructure.
• Model aerial-response scenarios based on the availability of helipads and runways.

Strengths

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

Limitations

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