How does the MCU Helicarrier get aircraft back to the hangar?

Question

The Helicarrier is obviously based on modern supercarriers, like the Nimitz-class. In particular, the flight deck, as with all supercarriers, is angled to allow simultaneous launch and recovery operations.  However, on the Helicarrier, the angled deck section is raised above a straight deck.  Presumably, this is done for rule of cool, as I can't think of any real benefit this would provide, but it leads to an interesting question: when aircraft land on that raised deck, presumably having spent their munitions, how do they get back into the hangar?  Where could an elevator be put without interfering with the launching deck, or could it use a different system?

There doesn’t appear to be any immediate way for the aircraft to get between the two decks that I have noticed. However, there doesn’t necessarily need to be. The aircraft on the rear raised deck have anchoring points and are bolted down when need be as we see in The Avengers in the take off scene.

                
            
There is also a little “plane park” section of the deck clear of the runway that is used for the planes.

However, of note is in the Marvel Studios Visual Dictionary is a page on the Helicarrier which makes mention of two “aircraft elevators to hangars” on the lower front deck. There doesn’t appear to be anything similar on the rear deck.

It also notes that the front deck is used for takeoffs and the angled rear one is used for landings.
It is also worth noting that the Helicarrier has two main vehicles that use the decks: Quinjets and F-35 Lightning IIs. Both of these are STOVL, short take-off and vertical landing, aircraft. As such they can land with precision so it would seem that they could take off from one deck and quite easily land on the other, certainly the Quinjet could.
