Lesotho Airports and Aviation Infrastructure from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports provide airports, heliports, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites for Lesotho. The data is compiled by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and was last updated on 2026-05-14. Completeness may vary, with urban areas likely being more detailed than remote regions.

Use Cases

• Plan evacuation routes based on the location of airports and emergency landing sites.
• Optimize logistics networks using the spatial distribution of airports and helipads.
• Assess aviation infrastructure coverage for aerial-response planning based on aeroway features.

Strengths

• Data includes multiple aviation feature types such as airports, heliports, and runways.
• Available in several geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• 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, with remote areas potentially incomplete.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
