Use Cases

• Plan evacuation routes based on the locations of airports and emergency landing sites.
• Analyze aviation logistics networks using the mapped airports, heliports, and runways.
• Support aerial-response planning by identifying helipad and terminal locations.

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 a well-known collaborative mapping project (OpenStreetMap).

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.
