We discuss the moduli stabilization arising in the presence of gauge fluxes, R-symmetry twists and non-perturbative effects in the context of 6-dimensional supergravity models. We show how the presence of D-terms, due to the gauge fluxes, is compatible with gaugino condensation, and that the two effects, combined with the R-symmetry twist, do stabilize all the Kaehler moduli present in the model, in the spirit of KKLT. We also calculate the flux-induced one-loop correction to the scalar potential coming from charged hypermultiplets, and find that it does not destabilize the minimum.
