Venezuelan Aviation Infrastructure from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports of airports and aviation infrastructure in Venezuela. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) compiled this data, which includes airports, heliports, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites. The dataset was last updated on 2026-05-15.

Use Cases

• Plan evacuation routes based on airport and helipad locations.
• Model supply chain logistics using aviation infrastructure networks.
• Assess emergency response capabilities based on the distribution of emergency landing sites.
• Create base maps for aerial navigation and planning.

Strengths

• Includes multiple aviation infrastructure types (airports, heliports, runways, terminals, emergency sites).
• Data is available in multiple geospatial file formats (GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON).
• Sourced from the collaborative OpenStreetMap project, allowing for community updates.

Limitations

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