Nepal Airports and Aviation Infrastructure from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports provide airports, heliports, helipads, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites for Nepal. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) maintains this dataset, last updated on 2026-05-14. Data completeness likely varies by region, with urban areas often better mapped than remote ones.

Use Cases

• Plan evacuation routes based on airport and helipad locations.
• Coordinate aerial response logistics using aviation infrastructure data.
• Analyze transport network coverage based on mapped airports and emergency landing sites.

Strengths

• Includes multiple aviation facility types: airports, heliports, helipads, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites.
• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats: GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON.
• Last updated on 2026-05-14.

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.
