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 second battle of Guararapes did not end Dutch occupation of Portuguese Brazil. Who makes this stuff up? It's completely unsourced and untrue. The Portuguese won the battle, and retook some territory, but Dutch military forces continued to hold out in significant enclaves, and neither surrendered not took flight. Dutch ships maintained control of Brazil's waters until about 1652. Dutch insurrection and occupation gradually petered out between 1652 and 1654, primarily due to diversion of Dutch resources by the first Anglo-Dutch war. The Portuguese eventually forced Dutch forces to a truce, called the Treaty of Taborda in 1654, but even that was intended to be temporary, until the Dutch crown could act. Dutch forces didn't actually evacuate until 1654.
Dutch claims to Brazil weren't abandoned until the formal Treaty of the Hague (1661).

I have edited the lead, citing Charles R. Boxer's classic history of the Dutch in Brazil on the second battle. The Dutch remained in Brazil a few more years, but the battle did have an impact on the Dutch understanding of Portuguese capabilities in warfare.
