Francisco de Sá Carneiro Airport → Porto Airport – Per WP:COMMONNAME. Similarly to Lisbon Airport, even the official website makes no visible mention of the "new" name. Plus, the name doesn't even contain the name of the city (which isn't really a must, I know, but certainly not acceptable when it fails WP:COMMONNAME so badly).

 * 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)
 * 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)


 * Support per WP:COMMONNAME. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 15:34, 5 September 2016 (UTC)

 * 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)
