Narrative:

On both visual approachs to runway 36R, we were told to maintain 170 KTS with a 5 mi final. First go around became necessary because of an aircraft holding in position on the runway for takeoff. (Just landed aircraft did not clear runway quick enough to issue takeoff clearance. The controller's plan fell apart.) second go around was necessary because aircraft landing ahead of us was slow in exiting the runway. Contributing factors: holiday loads are requiring longer rollouts and landing and runway 36R at charlotte has no high speed turnoffs.

Title: A B737-400 FO RPTED THAT HE HAD TO MAKE 2 GAR'S AT CLT DUE TO PRECEDING ACFT NEEDING TO ROLLOUT TO THE END OF RWY SINCE THERE ARE NO HIGH SPD TURNOFFS ON RWY 36R.

Narrative: ON BOTH VISUAL APCHS TO RWY 36R, WE WERE TOLD TO MAINTAIN 170 KTS WITH A 5 MI FINAL. FIRST GAR BECAME NECESSARY BECAUSE OF AN ACFT HOLDING IN POS ON THE RWY FOR TKOF. (JUST LANDED ACFT DID NOT CLR RWY QUICK ENOUGH TO ISSUE TKOF CLRNC. THE CTLR'S PLAN FELL APART.) SECOND GAR WAS NECESSARY BECAUSE ACFT LNDG AHEAD OF US WAS SLOW IN EXITING THE RWY. CONTRIBUTING FACTORS: HOLIDAY LOADS ARE REQUIRING LONGER ROLLOUTS AND LNDG AND RWY 36R AT CHARLOTTE HAS NO HIGH SPD TURNOFFS.
