Myanmar Aviation Infrastructure: Airports and Helipads with Multilingual Names

This geospatial dataset provides a mapping of aviation infrastructure across Myanmar, including airports, helipads, and emergency landing sites exported from OpenStreetMap. Maintained by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT), the data was last updated in March 2026 and covers both civilian and emergency facilities.

Use Cases

• Analyzing regional transport accessibility using the aeroway and addr:city columns
• Identifying emergency response locations via the emergency:helipad and landing_site tags
• Linguistic mapping of infrastructure using the name:en and name:my fields

Strengths

• Multilingual support with names provided in English and Burmese (name:my)
• Includes specialized emergency infrastructure via emergency:helipad and landing_site tags
• Available in four standard geospatial formats: SHP, GEOJSON, GEOPACKAGE, and KML

Limitations

• Crowdsourced data source may result in inconsistent attribute accuracy compared to official civil aviation registries
• Geographic coverage depends on active OpenStreetMap contributor mapping in specific regions of Myanmar
