Marshall Islands Airports and Aviation Infrastructure from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports provide geospatial data on airports and aviation infrastructure for the Marshall Islands. The dataset includes features such as airports, heliports, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites, tagged via OSM keys like `aeroway`, `building`, and `emergency`. It was last updated on 2026-05-14 and is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT).

Use Cases

• Plan humanitarian aid delivery and logistics based on airport and helipad locations.
• Model evacuation routes for disaster response based on mapped aviation infrastructure.
• Analyze aviation network coverage and identify gaps for emergency landing sites.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative global mapping project.
• Covers multiple aviation infrastructure types including airports, heliports, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and GEOJSON.

Limitations

• Completeness varies by region; remote areas may be incompletely mapped and require field verification.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale analysis.
