About Clayton J Lloyd International Airport

Overview

Clayton J Lloyd International Airport serves Anguilla, located in the Caribbean region. Positioned at 18.204773, -63.053830 in The Valley, this medium-sized airport provides critical air transportation infrastructure for the island. The airport operates at an elevation of 127 feet mean sea level, facilitating regional and international passenger and cargo operations.

Flying Conditions

Being a Caribbean airport, Clayton J Lloyd experiences typical tropical maritime weather patterns with potential variability. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal development and occasional trade wind conditions that could impact approach and departure procedures. The airport's moderate elevation at 127 ft MSL suggests relatively stable atmospheric conditions compared to higher terrain airports.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (11/29) with an asphalt surface measuring 5,462 feet in length. Its geographic position provides direct access to Anguilla's primary transportation infrastructure, situated in close proximity to The Valley. The runway's orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations during approach and landing operations.

Approach Considerations

Runway 11/29's substantial 5,462-foot length provides adequate landing distance for most regional and medium-sized aircraft. Pilots should carefully assess wind direction and prepare for potential crosswind components given the runway's specific orientation. Standard maritime approach protocols are recommended, with careful attention to local terrain and coastal atmospheric conditions.
