Nigeria Airports and Aerodromes from OpenStreetMap

Nigeria's aviation infrastructure features, including airports, aerodromes, helipads, and landing sites, exported from OpenStreetMap. The dataset likely contains attributes such as name, aeroway type, building classification, address, and capacity. It was last updated on 2026-03-03 by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team.

Use Cases

• Map airport locations and types based on the 'aeroway' and 'building' attributes.
• Analyze aviation infrastructure distribution across Nigeria based on geospatial coordinates.
• Assess emergency landing site availability based on the 'emergency' and 'emergency:helipad' tags.
• Identify facility operators based on the 'operator:type' field.

Strengths

• Data is derived from OpenStreetMap, a collaborative and frequently updated global source.
• Includes multiple facility types: airports, aerodromes, helipads, and landing sites.
• Available in several geospatial formats (GEOPACKAGE, GEOJSON, SHP, KML) for interoperability.

Limitations

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