Romanian Aviation Infrastructure from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data for airports, heliports, and related infrastructure across Romania. The dataset is an export by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team and was last updated on 2026-05-14. It includes features tagged for aeroway, building, or emergency purposes, sourced from a collaborative, volunteer-built map.

Use Cases

• Plan evacuation routes based on the locations of airports and emergency landing sites.
• Model logistics networks using the spatial distribution of airports, helipads, and terminals.
• Assess aerial response capabilities by mapping aviation infrastructure like runways and heliports.

Strengths

• Includes multiple aviation feature types: airports, heliports, helipads, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites.
• Available in six geospatial file formats, including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Derived from OpenStreetMap, a free and openly licensed global mapping project.

Limitations

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