New Caledonia Airports and Aviation Infrastructure from OpenStreetMap

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

Use Cases

• Plan logistics and supply routes based on airport and heliport locations.
• Model evacuation scenarios based on the network of emergency landing sites.
• Assess aviation infrastructure coverage for aerial-response planning.
• Cross-reference OSM-derived aviation data with local field knowledge for critical decisions.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative global mapping project.
• Includes multiple aviation infrastructure types tagged via `aeroway`, `building`, and `emergency` keys.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats, including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and GEOJSON.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Completeness varies by region; remote areas may be incomplete according to the source description.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
