Airports and Aviation Infrastructure in Palestine from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data on Palestinian airports, heliports, runways, and emergency landing sites, tagged via `aeroway`, `building`, or `emergency`. The dataset is compiled by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team and was last updated on 2026-06-22. Coverage reflects volunteer mapper activity, with urban areas typically well-represented and remote areas potentially sparse.

Use Cases

• Plan logistics and supply routes based on airport and helipad locations.
• Model evacuation scenarios based on the network of emergency landing sites.
• Assess aviation infrastructure capacity for aerial-response planning.
• Cross-reference field knowledge with mapped infrastructure for critical decision-making.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.
• Includes multiple infrastructure types: airports, heliports, helipads, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats: GEOPACKAGE, SHP, KML, GEOJSON, JSON.

Limitations

• Coverage is uneven; urban areas are usually well represented, but remote areas may be sparse.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Freshness should be verified; last updated 2026-06-22 17:25:15.813378.
