An airport baggage handling system includes a sorting conveyor system transporting baggage pieces to sorting targets on conveyor routes with switch points, being settable in conveying directions and having a superordinate control system and control units for switch points. A departure processing system registers a baggage piece, accepts baggage piece attributes and provides identification data of the baggage piece. A baggage notification system forms a baggage piece notification from the identification data and attributes and transmits it to the control system. The control system produces a notification list from notifications and a sorting plan with identification data-sorting target assignments and determines route tables with sorting target-conveying direction assignments for switch points. An auxiliary handling system accepts entered attributes and identification data from the departure processing system, forms the notification and transmits it to the control system, permitting sorting conveyor system operation upon baggage notification system failure.
