Malaysia Airports and Aviation Infrastructure from OpenStreetMap

Malaysia'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 (HOT).

Use Cases

• Plan logistics and supply chain routes based on airport and helipad locations.
• Model evacuation routing scenarios based on emergency landing site data.
• Analyze aviation infrastructure coverage and gaps based on OSM tagging completeness.

Strengths

• Includes multiple aviation feature types (airports, heliports, runways, terminals).
• Derived from a free, collaborative global map (OpenStreetMap).
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats (GEOPACKAGE, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON).

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.
