Montserrat Airports and Aviation Infrastructure from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports for Montserrat contain airports, heliports, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites tagged via `aeroway`, `building`, or `emergency`. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) provides this data in multiple geospatial formats. Completeness of features may vary by region, with urban areas likely being better mapped than remote ones.

Use Cases

• Plan logistics and supply chains based on airport and helipad locations.
• Route evacuations and emergency responses based on aviation infrastructure.
• Map aerial-response capabilities based on runway and terminal data.

Strengths

• Data is provided in six geospatial formats (GEOPACKAGE, KML, HTML, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON), offering flexibility for different tools.
• Sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative global mapping project.
• Explicitly includes emergency landing sites, which are relevant for crisis scenarios.

Limitations

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