Polish Airport and Helipad Locations from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap features across Poland tagged as airports, aerodromes, or emergency landing sites. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) compiled this dataset, which was last updated on March 3, 2026. Attributes likely include names, aeroway types, building information, and address details.

Use Cases

• Mapping aviation infrastructure based on aeroway and building tags.
• Analyzing the distribution of emergency landing sites based on emergency and emergency:helipad tags.
• Geocoding airport facilities based on addr:full and addr:city attributes.
• Validating or enriching commercial aviation datasets with open-source location data.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a large collaborative mapping project.
• Includes multiple geospatial file formats (GEOJSON, SHP, GEOPACKAGE, KML) for flexibility.
• Released under the Open Database License (ODbL-1.0), permitting sharing and adaptation.

Limitations

• Row count is 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.
