Panama Airports and Aviation Infrastructure from OpenStreetMap

Panama's airports, heliports, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites exported from OpenStreetMap. The data is compiled by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team and was last updated on 2026-05-14. Completeness may vary by region, with urban areas likely being better mapped than remote ones.

Use Cases

• Plan evacuation routes based on the locations of airports and emergency landing sites.
• Optimize logistics networks using the mapped locations of airports, helipads, and terminals.
• Assess aviation infrastructure coverage for aerial-response planning based on the presence of aeroway features.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map built by volunteers.
• Includes multiple aviation infrastructure types such as airports, heliports, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.

Limitations

• Completeness varies by region; remote areas may be incompletely mapped.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
