Taiwan Airports and Aviation Infrastructure from OpenStreetMap

An OpenStreetMap export of airports, heliports, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites across Taiwan. The data is contributed by volunteers and its completeness varies, with urban areas likely being more detailed than remote regions. It was last updated on 2026-05-15 by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team.

Use Cases

• Plan evacuation routes based on the locations of airports and emergency landing sites.
• Optimize logistics networks by mapping the distribution of airports and helipads.
• Model aerial response capabilities using the locations of runways and terminals.
• Cross-reference infrastructure completeness for remote areas against other data sources.

Strengths

• Includes multiple infrastructure types such as airports, heliports, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Derived from the collaborative OpenStreetMap project, offering a free and open data source.

Limitations

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