“Baggage, there is a lot that are lost“, alerted Emmanuel Duchemin-Humbert, representing Force Ouvrière Aéroports de Paris, at the microphone of BFMTV.

The company also invalidates the figures mentioned by the union representative, who said that 50% of Friday’s passengers left without their luggage.
