On August 3^rd, the Paris-Orly Airport experienced a baggage processing system failure prompting significant departure delays. The outage is on-going, necessitating baggage to be handled and sorted by hand. An estimated 10,000 passengers on 40 flights have been affected by the malfunction and disruptions are expected to last for several hours while flight authorities work to clear the backlog. This breakdown occurs one year ahead of the 2024 Summer Olympic Games, which will be hosted in Paris. The government has issued a series of proposals to improve service and circumvent any similar occurrences ahead of the games next year.
