Talk:Salvador Bahia Airport

Line Removal
"The airport operates an average of 100 domestic flights and 16 international flights". I've removed this line, as it is meaningless without a time period - a hundred flights an hour, a day, a week? Kent 11:19, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Rename article according to the current official name: Salvador Bahia Airport
1) You have in its logo (which is shown on the article)

2) They mention it on their website: https://www.salvador-airport.com.br/en

3) That's the way the concessionary calls it: https://www.vinci-concessions.com/en/infrastructure/salvador-bahia-airport

4) it's in their official Facebook page (also stylized in Portuguese as "Aeroporto Salvador Bahia"): https://www.facebook.com/SalvadorBahiaAirport/

5) and on their official Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/accounts/login/?next=/salvadorbahiaairport/

The name is Salvador Bahia Airport / Aeroporto Salvador Bahia. I am proposing to change the airport to the current official name

 * Dear Jorge Rodriguez, although I do not oppose to the move I would like to stress the following arguments for a more precise clarification:
 * 1) On June 16, 1998 Federal Law 9.661 https://web.archive.org/web/20111008010441/http://www.leidireto.com.br/lei-9661.html  (mentioned in the introdutory notes of the article) changed the name of the facility from Aeroporto Internacional 2 de Julho to Aeroporto Internacional de Salvador - Deputado Luís Eduardo Magalhães. This Federal Law, approved by the Congress and sanctioned by the President, is still in force and therefore the latter remains the official name. As such, this is the name used by entities such as the Civil Aviation National Agency. All the mentioned media do not take precedence to a Federal Law.
 * 2) Vinci, the concessionary that manages the airport, may use a Trade Name and has chosen to do so as Salvador Bahia Airport. It must be said that internally in Brazil, when one mentions Salvador it is obvious that one is referring to the capital of the State of Bahia, which has as full name São Salvador da Bahia de Todos os Santos. The name Salvador da Bahia is used abroad to mainly differentiate from San Salvador, the capital of El Salvador. Vinci is therefore stressing a foreign rather than a local perspective. Salvador International Airport focused on both Brazilian and foreign perspectives.
 * 3) The population of Salvador dislike the name celebrating a deceased politician and there have been some attempts to revert the name of the airport to its original form. The use of a Trade Name seems to be a conciliatory solution albeit from a foreign perspective. Brunoptsem (talk) 12:58, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
