Mali Airports and Aviation Infrastructure from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data for Mali includes airports, heliports, helipads, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) exports this data, last updated on 2026-05-14. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas typically better mapped than remote locations.

Use Cases

• Plan humanitarian evacuation routes based on airport and helipad locations.
• Map aviation logistics networks based on runway and terminal infrastructure.
• Identify potential emergency landing sites for aerial response planning.
• Analyze regional aviation infrastructure coverage for development projects.

Strengths

• Data is derived from OpenStreetMap, a widely-used collaborative mapping project.
• Includes multiple aviation infrastructure types tagged via `aeroway`, `building`, and `emergency` keys.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Completeness varies by region, with remote areas likely being incomplete.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
