Maldives Airports and Aviation Infrastructure from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports provide airports, heliports, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites for the Maldives. The data is contributed by volunteers and maintained by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT). It was last updated on 2026-05-14.

Use Cases

• Plan evacuation routes based on emergency landing site locations.
• Map aviation logistics networks using airport and heliport data.
• Assess infrastructure coverage for aerial-response planning using runway and terminal features.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Covers a specific geographic region (Maldives) with features relevant to aviation and emergency response.

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.
