The invention relates to a baggage handling system for an airport (1). A sorting conveyor system (2) for transporting baggage pieces (B) to sorting targets on conveyor routes with switch points (6), which can be set in different conveying directions, has a superordinated control system (9) and control units (7) that are associated with the switch points (6). A departure processing system (12) for registering a baggage piece (B) records the baggage piece attributes that are associated with the baggage piece (B) and provides an identification datum that is associated with the baggage piece (B). A baggage notification system (11) forms a baggage piece notification from the identification datum and from the baggage piece attributes for a baggage piece (B) to be transported and transmits said baggage piece notification to the control system (9). The control system (9) produces a notification list (AL) from the baggage piece notifications and a sorting plan (SP) with identification datum-sorting target associations and determines route tables (RT) with sorting target-conveying direction associations for the switch points (6). If an auxiliary handling system (14) is designed to accept the baggage piece attributes entered during registration of a baggage piece (B) along with the identification datum provided from the departure processing system (12) and to form the baggage piece notification therefrom and to transmit said baggage piece notification to the control system (9), the sorting conveyor system (2) can continue to be operated in the event of failure of the baggage notification system (11).
