Name of the Airport

Latest comment: 12 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

There is only one correct spelling for the name of this airport, and that is "Val-de-Cans", which is the name of the neighborhood it's located in. The wrong spelling "Val-de-cães" occurs because the word "cans" sounds exactly like "cães", which means "dogs" in portuguese. People unaware of the correct spelling of the airport's name often make this mistake.
