Clayton J. Lloyd International Airport (AXA/TQPF) is Anguilla's only airport, located just outside The Valley near Wallblake. Formerly known as Wallblake Airport, it was renamed in 2010 to honor Anguillan aviator Clayton J. Lloyd. It handles regional turboprop and small jet traffic, primarily from St. Maarten, San Juan, Antigua, and other Caribbean hubs.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors know the terminal's small parking area fills quickly; if you're picking up passengers, arrive after the flight has landed rather than early, and use the short-term lot instead of idling on the airport road.
🚖 Getting There
Taxis are the main option; they meet arriving flights and charge fixed rates by destination, so confirm the fare before leaving. Rental cars are available from local agencies, but driving is on the left and you may need a temporary Anguilla driver's license. Some hotels arrange private transfers; if you arrive via St. Maarten ferry at Blowing Point, allow extra time for the taxi to the airport or your hotel.
