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).

Given that Portugal today is a republic, and has been for quite a long time, isn't this in fact an obsolete title? If I (and Google Translate) understand it correctly, the article on the Portuguese Wikipedia says that Arthur Charles Wellesley, 4th Duke of Vitória, was the last duke.

Titles of nobility are no longer legally recognized by the state. Peers continue to use the titles based on a grant made to their
ancestors which they are entitled to bear based on family inheritance, custom and the laws which applied at the time of the monarchy.
They may continue to use their title for social and unofficial ceremonial purposes but the state recognizes them legally by their given names. It is perfectly appropriate for someone to use a title for which they have a legal claim under the rules which applied to the grant of the title. In the case of a republic, it is no longer an issue to be addressed by the state. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.183.130.211 (talk) 00:09, 8 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
