Tokelau Airports and Aviation Infrastructure from OpenStreetMap

Tokelau's airports, heliports, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites exported from OpenStreetMap. The data is compiled by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team and was last updated on 2026-05-15. Completeness may vary, with remote areas potentially less detailed than urban zones.

Use Cases

• Plan evacuation routes based on the locations of airports and emergency landing sites.
• Map aviation logistics networks using the included aeroway and building infrastructure.
• Assess aerial response capabilities for the region based on helipad and runway data.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative global mapping project.
• Includes multiple feature types such as airports, helipads, runways, and terminals.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and GEOJSON.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Completeness varies by region; remote areas like Tokelau may be incomplete.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
