Thirty six flights were cancelled and 201 delayed on the weekend at one of Japan's busiest airports.

Thirty-six flights were cancelled and 201 delayed at a Japanese airport on the weekend after a pair of scissors went missing in a store near the boarding gates.

Security checks at Hokkaido’s New Chitose Airport domestic terminal were suspended for about two hours on Saturday morning, leaving hundreds of travellers temporarily stranded.

There were huge bottlenecks and queues as passengers in the departure lounge were forced to retake security checks.

Authorities tried to locate the missing scissors, which were found at the same store the following day.

    In Switzerland you can buy victorinox knives in the airports.

    The important thing is paying, security comes after.

      I’m not afraid of scissors, but I’m very afraid of my victorinox knife.
