To think that in about 7 years, this place would go from populated with Schindler M-Series, to populated with 3300’s and 5500’s. 😅 I guess in a way it was inevitable to keep up with the airport traffic, but it’s amazing how places and elevators can drastically change with the times!
I really like those 90's Schindlers. They have M-series fixtures which are my favourite from Schindler and they are very rare in Scandinavia, unfortunately! I don't think hydraulic is a bad solution for just two floors. The high cost of traction doesn't justify it for only two floors and the time saved is small for such a short distance travelled.
The passengers comes in waves or large groups for each arriveing aircraft, so in order to avoid bottlenecks and long rows of waiting people, both escalators goes down so everyone can reach the exit fast. And most heavy luggage is checked in anyways, so the few passengers who are unable to walk up one floor with light hand.luggage still has option to use the lift. Nobody left behind. So I do think it was a wise decision to setup the escalators like this. It's all about people flow
that airport is fairly nice. I really like those Schindler M-Series fixtures and especially the nice old GAL fixtures on the 1980s generic. And nice narrow OTIS escalator, this is totally old-fashioned. Strange they both go down, ah well.
They don't go to the exit, that's the problem, they just go to the gates where the small Turboprop (propeller) are, like Air New Zealand's, ATR 72 500/600's, Bombardier Q300's and Beech 1900D's. It is a really small area.
At Wellington Airport it does justify. More people use this airport than you would think. I just got the lift empty by a stroke of luck, like I did at Te papa Museum (The one with KONE Novel's). The carpark lift is the unused one but the main lift, isn't fast enough.
The Baltimore Washington International Airport in Baltimore Maryland uses hydraulic elevators in every concourse and they are pretty fast, the parking decks use traction elevators though.
They could also just have installed a faster hydraulic model Like this one. This hydraulic goes faster between two floors than most modern day cheap crap MRL's, because of the very time-efficient relay-controllers. watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=BZPsQvKbJBM#t=55s
There's a brand new 8-Storey car Park being built. Nothing wrong with he current lift either....no need to replace it. The 80's generic can't be accessed anymore, as they have changed the layout of the terminal.

Ah well, i thought the gates (jetways) were connected to the upper floors while the exit was located below

The airport has a lot Propeller (Turboprop) planes come to it. These have to be boarded downstairs.

It looks like the police station lift had it's outside indicator replaced.
It could be, but I don't know as it is locked off. The lifts here are from the very late 90's. The building was opened in 1999.
It Looks Like The 1980 - 1990 Schindler Lift That Goes Up to The Police Station And Ground Floor Needs An If Id Card To Open It
1) there isn't room for one.
2) they don't make OTIS 2000's anymore, just Gen 2's.
I WISH THE MAIN LIFT COULD BE TRACTION INSTEAD OF HYDRAULIC

They should replace the main and carpark lifts with Schindler 5500. The 80s generic should be left alone.

Oh no... a crap 80 generic
