Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map built by volunteers.
• Includes multiple aviation infrastructure types (airports, heliports, runways, terminals, emergency sites).
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats (GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON).

Limitations

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