The invention relates to an apparatus for handling goods to be sorted (12) in accordance with sorting criteria between at least one input point (15) and sorting destinations (18). The apparatus has at least one sorting system (32) which is arranged between the input point (15) and the sorting destinations (18) and a set of transport means (28) for transporting baggage goods to be sorted (12). The transport means (28) here are provided in each case for receiving a baggage item to be sorted (12), which is assigned to a sorting destination (18). According to the invention, the sorting system (32) has at least one main conveying section (56) for transport means (28) of the set of transport means (28), at least one unloading point (52) which is assigned to at least one sorting destination (18) and is intended for the unloading of the transport means (28), and an unloading section (58) which is assigned to the unloading point (52) and is branched off from the main conveying section (56). Said unloading section is designed in such a manner that entry of the unloading section (58) by a loaded transport means (28) causes the assigned item of luggage to be sorted (12) to be unloaded at the unloading point (52). This reduces the outlay on manufacturing, operation and maintenance.
