Baggage carousel

Airports without carousels generally deliver baggage by placing it on the floor or sliding it through an opening in a wall.

Bags are placed on some type of conveyor belt in a secure area not accessible by passengers.

It is common for this type of system to have two delivery belts, increasing the speed with which bags can be delivered to the passenger level.

[citation needed] Bags are loaded from an upper level and end up on the rotating carousel, as is normal.

However, the very back portion of the oval, in this case, runs in and out of the wall, so it can be accessed by baggage handlers.
