Python script to extract geolocated (GPS/WGS84) airport terminal shapes using the overpass turbo API and openstreetmap data.
Delivers geojson files which can be applied in e.g. QGIS.
Output 1: Simple outer delineation of the terminal infra (DUS example):
Output 2: Complete merged terminal structure (DUS example):
Output 3: Detailed terminal structure with individual infra/piers (DUS example):
Singapore (SIN)
Zurich (ZRH)
Amsterdam (AMS)
Istanbul (IST)
Rome (FCO)
Dubai (DXB)
At present, the script is in its initial stages of code. The output can still feature incomplete terminal structures such as the following example (FRA):
Reason for this is the way how infrastructure is classified in openstreetmap. Normal approach to classify a terminal is: way["aeroway"="terminal"]
But sometimes part of the terminal infra in openstreetmap is incorrectly formatted as: relation["aeroway"="terminal"] In this case, those parts of the terminal are not yet extracted.
Another reason if the terminal infrastructure is incomplete could be a too-limited search radius in the python script. In that case, increase the integer to cover a wider search area.
