Confirmed operational per CLT's own official blog post (cltairport.com, Jan 16, 2026) and current accessibility page — no closure notice; the only locations flagged 'graphics coming soon' in that post were Baggage Claim Carousel 7 and the D/E Connector. Older 'temporarily closed' claims traced to a stale 2018 third-party page.
