## Description

Anguilla's freight reaches the island mostly by sea, not by air, and the airport's own upgrades do not change that. Clayton J. Lloyd International (AXA), the territory's only airport, opened a new passenger terminal in December 2025 and is extending its runway in two phases to take Boeing 737-class aircraft, with the old terminal demolished from January 2026. Traffic remains tourism-led: there is no dedicated cargo terminal, and air freight is limited to belly space on passenger flights. Heavier or bulky consignments arrive by ferry and truck from Sint Maarten, whose Princess Juliana International (SXM) lies about 30 km to the southwest and acts as the region's real cargo gateway. American Airlines has flown twice-weekly nonstop from Miami (MIA) since December 2021, which shortens transit times for express shipments out of the United States. The airport is run by the Anguilla Air and Sea Ports Authority. For planned freight capacity, forwarders realistically route via SXM or San Juan (SJU) and complete the leg by sea.
