Israel Airports and Aviation Infrastructure from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports of airports and aviation infrastructure in Israel, provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT). The data includes airports, heliports, helipads, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites tagged via `aeroway`, `building`, or `emergency` keys. The dataset was last updated on 2026-05-14.

Use Cases

• Plan logistics and supply chains based on airport and heliport locations.
• Route evacuations or emergency responses based on aviation infrastructure.
• Analyze aviation network coverage based on the presence of runways and terminals.
• Identify potential emergency landing sites for aerial operations.

Strengths

• Covers multiple aviation infrastructure types including airports, heliports, and emergency sites.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative mapping project.

Limitations

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