Airports and Aviation Infrastructure of Yemen from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data for Yemen includes airports, heliports, runways, terminals, and emergency landing sites tagged via `aeroway`, `building`, or `emergency`. The data is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and was last updated on 2026-06-24. Coverage reflects volunteer mapper activity, with urban areas typically well-represented and remote areas potentially sparse.

Use Cases

• Plan evacuation routes based on the locations of airports and emergency landing sites.
• Model logistics supply chains based on the distribution of aviation infrastructure.
• Assess aerial-response capabilities based on the network of runways and helipads.
• Cross-reference field knowledge with mapped infrastructure for critical decision-making.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.
• Includes multiple geospatial file formats (GEOPACKAGE, SHP, KML, GEOJSON, JSON).
• Last updated on 2026-06-24 09:50:41.649674.

Limitations

• Coverage is dependent on volunteer mapper activity, leading to potential sparsity in remote areas.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
