Pakistan Airports and Aerodromes from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap export from March 2026 includes all features in Pakistan tagged as airports, aerodromes, or helipads. The dataset, provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team, contains attributes such as name, aeroway type, building classification, address, and operator details. It is available in multiple geospatial formats including GeoJSON, SHP, and KML.

Use Cases

• Map airport and helipad locations across Pakistan based on the geospatial features.
• Analyze aviation infrastructure types and capacities based on the 'aeroway' and 'capacity:persons' attributes.
• Integrate facility addresses for logistics planning based on the 'addr:full' and 'addr:city' fields.
• Validate and update OpenStreetMap aviation data for Pakistan based on the source tags.

Strengths

• Data is derived from OpenStreetMap, a collaborative and frequently updated global source.
• Includes multiple relevant attributes such as name, address, capacity, and operator type.
• Available in four standard geospatial formats (GeoJSON, SHP, GEOPACKAGE, KML) for interoperability.

Limitations

• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic or contributor bias inherent to OpenStreetMap's crowdsourced nature.
