Find correct name
The airport is not listed as João Paulo II anywhere.
The airport's own website calls itself simply Ponta Delgada, and has no mention of João Paulo.
Template:Regions of Portugal: statistical (NUTS3) subregions and intercommunal entities are confused; they are not the same in all regions, and should be sublisted separately in each region: intermunicipal entities are sometimes larger and split by subregions (e.g. the Metropolitan Area of Lisbon has two subregions), some intercommunal entities are containing only parts of subregions. All subregions should be listed explicitly and not assume they are only intermunicipal entities (which accessorily are not statistic subdivisions but real administrative entities, so they should be listed below, probably using a smaller font: we can safely eliminate the subgrouping by type of intermunicipal entity from this box).

comment (note: I am Portuguese). I do not know which is the common name in English, so no opinion, except that it must have some reference, and a redirect, to the full name. I do not know when the airport got its Sá Carneiro name, but I bet it is not new (i.e. not in the most recent decade).Also, I note that while Lisboa's airport is commonly mentioned here in Portugal as Lisboa's Airport (pt: Aeroporto de Lisboa), Porto's airport is mentioned (more?) often as Sá Carneiro Airport (pt: Aeroporto Sá Carneiro) (_my guess_ is that the double use of 'porto' makes it somewhat uncomfortable to say. Aeroporto do Porto) - Nabla (talk) 20:35, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
You're right - the ptwiki article says it was changed in 1990. Naturally, the article should retain a reference to the name and when and why it was renamed. MikeLynch (talk) 20:53, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

it is not known by that name locally, it is not even located in Porto. It is still mostly known as Aeroporto de Pedras Rubras. Only in TV, it was known as Aeroporto do Porto, which was adopted by that website. --Pedro (talk) 18:18, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
