Missing scissors cause 38 flight cancellations in Japan: Plus a further 200 delays … all on a holiday weekend
theregister.com/2024/08/20/missing_scissors_cut_flights_japan/
Quick Glance: Hokkaido Airport Disruption Due to Missing Scissors
- This weekend, Hokkaido's Chitose Airport experienced major disruptions after a shop in the secure area reported a missing pair of scissors. As a result, every passenger had to undergo rescreening, leading to numerous flight cancellations and delays.
- Following the report, airport security was alerted, prompting a temporary shutdown of all departures for several hours. During this time, 190 flights were delayed and 35 were canceled, causing significant inconvenience for travelers.
- Although the missing scissors were never found, airport operations resumed after two hours, requiring passengers to leave the departure area for re-screening. The situation was particularly challenging as it coincided with a busy travel day following the Bon holiday.
- The response of the airport authorities has raised questions about standard operating procedures, especially regarding the handling of sharp objects in secure areas. It remains uncertain whether the shop will face any repercussions for the disruption caused.

channelnewsasia.com/commentary/japan-seven-eleven-7-11-takeover-offer-circle-k-couche-tard-4558751
Quick Glance: Major Takeover Bid for 7-Eleven Parent Company
- Seven & i Holdings, the Japanese operator of 7-Eleven, has received a takeover proposal from Canadian retailer Alimentation Couche-Tard, which owns the Circle K brand. This marks the largest foreign-led takeover attempt of a Japanese company. Following the announcement, Seven & i's shares surged 23%, boosting the company's market capitalization to $39 billion.
- In response to Couche-Tard's offer, Seven & i has formed a special committee of non-executive board members to evaluate the proposal, which seeks to acquire all outstanding shares. This is the first bid capitalizing on recent changes in Japan's M&A guidelines, which make it harder for companies to dismiss unsolicited offers.
- Couche-Tard has been pursuing discussions with Seven & i for several years, and its approach could attract additional bidders, including private equity firms interested in the U.S. 7-Eleven network. Seven & i's preemptive measures are part of a broader strategy following a significant revision of merger and acquisition guidelines, emphasizing the necessity to consider serious offers at the board level.
- The pressure for reform has led Seven & i to expand internationally and divest from less profitable segments, such as selling its Sogo & Seibu department store. Couche-Tard has been active in global acquisitions and has previously sought other major purchases in the convenience store sector.
