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)
