Libyan Airports and Aviation Infrastructure from OpenStreetMap

An OpenStreetMap export of airports and aviation infrastructure in Libya. The data 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 and is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT).

Use Cases

• Plan humanitarian evacuation routes based on airport and helipad locations.
• Analyze aviation infrastructure density for logistics network planning based on OSM tags.
• Identify emergency landing sites for aerial-response contingency planning.

Strengths

• Covers multiple aviation infrastructure types including emergency sites.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats (GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON).
• Sourced from the collaborative OpenStreetMap project.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Completeness varies by region, with remote areas potentially incomplete.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
