Timor-Leste Airports and Aviation Infrastructure from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports provide airports, heliports, helipads, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites for Timor-Leste. The data is sourced from the collaborative OpenStreetMap project and exported by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team. It was last updated on 2026-05-15.

Use Cases

• Plan logistics and supply routes based on airport and runway locations.
• Model evacuation scenarios based on the network of airports and emergency landing sites.
• Assess aviation infrastructure coverage for remote areas based on helipad and heliport data.
• Integrate aviation waypoints into broader geospatial analysis based on OSM aeroway tags.

Strengths

• Data includes multiple aviation infrastructure types: airports, heliports, helipads, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats: GEOPACKAGE, SHP, GEOJSON, and JSON.
• Sourced from OpenStreetMap, a widely-used collaborative mapping project.

Limitations

• Completeness varies by region; urban areas are usually well-mapped, but remote areas may be incomplete.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
