		</div><p>Airlines are working to deliver luggage to passengers around the world after a technical breakdown left at least 1,500 bags stuck at Paris’ Charles de Gaulle airport.</p>
<p>It is the latest of several tangles hitting travellers this summer.</p>
<p>The airport’s baggage sorting system had a technical malfunction on Friday that caused 15 flights to depart without luggage, leaving about 1,500 bags on the ground, according to the airport operating company.</p>
<p>The airport handled about 1,300 flights overall on Friday, the operator said.</p>
<p>Union activists said many more passengers flew without their bags, apparently because of knock-on effects from the original breakdown.</p>
<p>It comes as airport workers are on strike at French airports to demand more hiring and more pay to keep up with high global inflation.</p>
<p>Because of the strike, aviation authorities cancelled 17% of flights out of the Paris airports on Friday morning, and another 14% were cancelled on Saturday.</p>
<p>Passengers on cancelled flights were alerted days ahead.</p>
<p>The scene at Charles de Gaulle on Saturday was busy but typical for the first weekend in July, when France’s summer travel season kicks off.</p>
<p>Unions plan to continue striking on Sunday but no flights have been cancelled so far.</p>
<p>They have threatened to renew the strike next weekend if negotiations with company management do not succeed in finding a compromise.</p>
<p>Until now, French airports had been largely spared the chaos seen recently at airports in London, Amsterdam and some other European and US cities.</p>
<p>Airlines and airports that slashed jobs during the depths of the Covid-19 crisis are struggling to keep up with soaring demand as travel resurges after two years of virus restrictions.</p>
