Mexico Airports and Aerodromes from OpenStreetMap

Mexico's airports, aerodromes, helipads, and related facilities exported from OpenStreetMap. The dataset includes features tagged with attributes such as aeroway, building type, emergency designation, operator type, capacity, and address information. It was created by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team and last updated on 2026-03-03.

Use Cases

• Map airport locations and types based on the 'aeroway' and 'building' attributes.
• Analyze the distribution of emergency landing sites and helipads using the 'emergency' and 'emergency:helipad' tags.
• Identify facility operators and capacities using the 'operator:type' and 'capacity:persons' fields.
• Geocode airport addresses for service area analysis using the 'addr:full' and 'addr:city' attributes.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats: SHP, GEOJSON, GEOPACKAGE, KML.
• Features are defined by a clear OpenStreetMap tag query, focusing on aerodromes, aeroways, and emergency landing sites.
• Includes multilingual name tags ('name:en', 'name:es') for internationalization.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
