Latvian Aviation Infrastructure from OpenStreetMap

Latvia's airports and aviation infrastructure exported from OpenStreetMap. The dataset includes airports, heliports, helipads, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites tagged via `aeroway`, `building`, or `emergency` keys. It was last updated on 2026-05-14 by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team.

Use Cases

• Plan evacuation routes based on emergency landing site locations.
• Optimize logistics networks using airport and heliport infrastructure data.
• Model aerial response scenarios using runway and terminal locations.

Strengths

• Includes multiple aviation infrastructure types (airports, heliports, runways, terminals, emergency sites).
• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats (GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON).
• Last updated on 2026-05-14, suggesting recent maintenance.

Limitations

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