Airports and Aerodromes in Spain from OpenStreetMap

Spain's airports, helipads, and aerodromes extracted from OpenStreetMap. The dataset includes features tagged with 'aeroway', 'building'='aerodrome', or emergency landing sites, and likely contains attributes such as name, operator type, and address. It was created by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team and was last updated on 2026-05-05.

Use Cases

• Mapping airport locations and infrastructure based on OpenStreetMap 'aeroway' tags.
• Analyzing the distribution of emergency landing sites and helipads based on 'emergency' tags.
• Studying airport operator types and capacities using the 'operator:type' and 'capacity:persons' attributes.
• Geocoding airport facilities using the 'addr:full' and 'addr:city' address fields.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a collaborative, open-source mapping project.
• Includes multiple potential attributes like name, address, and capacity for each feature.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats including GEOPACKAGE, GEOJSON, KML, and SHP.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
