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).

The story that the desire to find a sea route to India had something to do with the rise of the Ottoman empire, or more specifically, with the fall of Constantinople - which I even learned in school - is still commonly found on both wikipedia and elsewhere on the internet, yet after briefly researching several examples, none of them seems to cite a source for it. Indeed, it rather seems that spice trade through the Ottoman empire continued to flourish, as found e.g. in this article : Casale, Giancarlo. “The Ottoman Administration of the Spice Trade in the Sixteenth-Century Red Sea and Persian Gulf.” Journal of the Economic and Social History of the Orient, vol. 49, no. 2, 2006, pp. 170–98. JSTOR, http://www.jstor.org/stable/25165138. Accessed 15 Sept. 2024. Directly arguing against the theory was already this article, which, however, is quite old and likely outdated in at least some respects: Lybyer, A. H. “The Ottoman Turks and the Routes of Oriental Trade.” The English Historical Review, vol. 30, no. 120, 1915, pp. 577–88. JSTOR, http://www.jstor.org/stable/551296. Accessed 15 Sept. 2024.
