Rwanda Aviation Infrastructure from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports provide airports, heliports, helipads, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites for Rwanda. The data is compiled by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and was last updated on 2026-05-14. Completeness of the map data varies by region, with urban areas likely being more complete than remote areas.

Use Cases

• Plan logistics and supply routes based on airport and helipad locations.
• Model evacuation routing scenarios based on aviation infrastructure.
• Support aerial-response planning for emergencies using the tagged emergency landing sites.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Includes a variety of aviation infrastructure types such as airports, helipads, runways, and terminals.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Completeness of the underlying OpenStreetMap data varies by region, with remote areas potentially being incomplete.
