Norwegian Airport and Helipad Features from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap features related to aviation infrastructure in Norway, including airports, aerodromes, and emergency helipads. The dataset is an export by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team and was last updated on 2026-03-03. Features may include attributes such as name, aeroway type, building type, operator details, and address information.

Use Cases

• Map airport locations and types based on the 'aeroway' and 'building' attributes.
• Analyze the distribution of emergency landing sites and helipads using the 'emergency' tags.
• Enrich facility databases with operator and capacity details from the 'operator:type' and 'capacity:persons' fields.
• Geocode aviation facilities using the provided 'addr:full' and 'addr:city' address attributes.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a collaborative, open-source mapping project.
• Includes multiple geospatial file formats (GEOJSON, SHP, GEOPACKAGE, KML) for flexibility.
• Features are defined by specific OSM tag filters, focusing the dataset on relevant aviation infrastructure.

Limitations

• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred from linked OSM wiki pages after download.
