Anguilla’s Wallblake Airport has been awarded international airport designation by the International Civil Aviation Organization, and has been renamed the Clayton J. Lloyd International Airport.

The name honors Anguillan aviation pioneer Clayton J. Lloyd. The airport served as a military airstrip in the 1940s and today accommodates inter-island aircraft and executive jets.

Regional carrier Cape Air recently announced it will add Anguilla to its inter-island Caribbean service on Dec. 22, 2010, while American Airlines, Continental Airlines, Delta Airlines and US Air currently offer connecting service on American Eagle and Anguilla Air Express from San Juan, Puerto Rico. The neighboring island of St. Maarten offers service from the U.S. on Jet Blue, American Airlines, Continental, Delta, Spirit, United Airlines and US Air.

Anguilla offers a 20-minute sea ferry service from St. Maarten on public ferries from the Marigot Terminal or from Princess Julianna Airport with operators including Funtime Boat Charters, MV Shauna VI, Footprint Charter, Ferry Link, GB Express or Gotcha Garfields Sea Tour, and No Fear Tours.
