Two 2-Floor Schindler 5500 MRL Traction Elevators - Charlotte Douglas Airport (Charlotte, NC)

On the opposite sides of the front of the airport are two 2-Story Schindler 5500's. The One near Checkpoint A was put in around 2022/2023, while the Checkpoint E one was put in 2023 and put into working order earlier this year.

I originally tried to ride the A one last year, but it was glitchy and refused to move despite floor input, only moving via calls. It's fixed thankfully and runs smooth. The other one on E seems to have no current issues and also runs smooth. Both are scenic so you can see how the elevator operates, which is awesome!
