Jordanian Airports and Aviation Infrastructure from OpenStreetMap

Jordan's airports and aviation infrastructure exported from OpenStreetMap. The data includes airports, heliports, helipads, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites, tagged via the `aeroway`, `building`, or `emergency` keys. It was last updated on 2026-05-14 by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and is available in multiple geospatial formats.

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.
• Model aerial response capabilities by analyzing the density and types of aviation infrastructure.
• Cross-reference field knowledge with mapped data for critical decision-making in remote areas.

Strengths

• Covers multiple feature types including airports, heliports, runways, and terminals.
• Available in six geospatial formats (GEOPACKAGE, KML, HTML, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON) for flexibility.
• Sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative global mapping project.

Limitations

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