Anguilla Airport:
Clayton J. Lloyd International Airport

 
 

Anguilla’s airport, formerly known as Wallblake Airport, was renamed in 2010 in honor of Captain Clayton J. Lloyd - Anguilla's first pilot and a pioneer of aviation in Anguilla.

Captain Lloyd started flying in the 60s, he regularly carried passengers to St. Thomas and St. Maarten and also provided a search and rescue service and an emergency service for patients who needed to be airlifted for medical attention.

Captain Lloyd sadly died doing what he loved in 1977 when a fire started aboard one of his planes during take off, igniting everything in a matter of minutes. There were no survivors.

He will be remembered for generations to come, the Anguilla airport a reminder of his great significance!

Today, Clayton J. Lloyd International Airport (AXA) is welcoming commercial, regional, and private aircraft from across the Caribbean and North America.
