OpenStreetMap features for airports, aerodromes, and emergency landing sites in the Svalbard and Jan Mayen Islands region. The dataset is an export by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and was last updated on 2026-03 03 09:07:03.596274.

Use Cases

• Map aviation infrastructure density based on the 'aeroway' and 'building' tags.
• Analyze emergency service coverage based on the 'emergency' and 'emergency:helipad' tags.
• Identify facility operators and capacities using the 'operator:type' and 'capacity:persons' attributes.
• Geocode airport locations using the 'addr:full' and 'addr:city' fields.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a global collaborative mapping project.
• Includes multiple relevant feature types: airports, aerodromes, and emergency landing sites.
• Available in several standard geospatial formats: GEOJSON, SHP, GEOPACKAGE, and KML.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Freshness should be verified as the last update date is in the future (2026-03-03).
