PARIS - With just one year to go before Paris hosts the Olympic Games one of the city’s airports suffered an unprecedented breakdown on Thursday that led to a mountain of luggage piling up and delayed flights.

That resulted in many flights leaving late and without the luggage of their passengers on board, according to the airport operator and airlines. Airport operator ADP estimated 10,000 passengers on 40 flights were affected, but said that the reason for the breakdown had not been determined. Junior transport minister Clement Beaune called the situation “unacceptable”, coming just weeks after the government made a series of proposals to improve the quality of service ahead of the Olympic Games next year.
