The director of the Pensacola International Airport in Pensacola, Florida, says both the facility’s escalators and five elevators are up and running again, WEAR News reports. The announcement comes a few weeks after reports about all the airport’s vertical-transportation (VT) equipment being broken, complicating travel, especially for those with disabilities. The airport director said a combination of more travelers and fewer COVID-19 restrictions stressed the VT mechanical systems. The airport replaced the aging escalators’ motor and brake systems, and plans to install completely new escalators in the next two years.
