Ugandan Airports and Aviation Infrastructure from OpenStreetMap

An OpenStreetMap export of aviation infrastructure in Uganda, including airports, heliports, helipads, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites. The data is contributed by volunteers and maintained by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT), with a last update timestamp of 2026-05-15 09:47:30.547017. Completeness likely varies by region, with urban areas typically better mapped than remote ones.

Use Cases

• Plan evacuation routes based on the location of airports and emergency landing sites.
• Optimize logistics networks by analyzing the distribution of airports and helipads.
• Assess aviation infrastructure coverage for aerial-response planning using runway and terminal data.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.
• Covers multiple feature types including airports, heliports, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Completeness varies by region; remote areas may be incompletely mapped.
