Mauritius Airports and Aviation Infrastructure from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports for Mauritius provide airports, heliports, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) compiled this data, which was last updated on 2026-05-14. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas likely being better mapped than remote ones.

Use Cases

• Plan logistics and supply chain routes based on airport and helipad locations.
• Model evacuation routing scenarios based on the network of aviation facilities.
• Support aerial-response planning for emergencies based on mapped runways and landing sites.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.
• Includes multiple aviation infrastructure types: airports, heliports, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats: GEOPACKAGE, KML, HTML, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Completeness varies by region; remote areas may be incomplete and require cross-checking with local knowledge.
