Airports and Aviation Infrastructure of Lebanon from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data on airports, heliports, helipads, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites in Lebanon, tagged via `aeroway`, `building`, or `emergency` keys. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) exported this dataset, which was last updated on 2026-06-19. Coverage reflects volunteer mapping activity and may be sparse in remote areas.

Use Cases

• Plan evacuation routes based on the locations of airports and emergency landing sites.
• Model aerial logistics networks based on the distribution of helipads and runways.
• Assess aviation infrastructure coverage for crisis response planning based on tagged aeroway features.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, KML, and GEOJSON.
• Explicitly includes emergency landing sites, which are relevant for crisis planning.

Limitations

• Coverage is dependent on volunteer mapper activity; remote areas may be sparsely represented.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
