Contactless Airport Shops

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Zippin Launched an AI-Powered Retail Concept at JFK Terminal 4

— December 3, 2021 — Business
JFKIAT (the operator of Terminal 4 at John F. Kennedy International Airport) has officially launched a contactless airport shop with Zippin that's powered by artificial intelligence. The retail concept, Camden Food Express powered by Zippin, can be found at Gate B 42, and it invites people to pick up and put back items as they shop, and then leave when they are ready to checkout. The frictionless shopping experience automatically charges shoppers for the items they leave the store with, so there's no need for standing in line.

Entering the grab-and-go store starts by tapping a credit card, and once inside Camden Food Express, shoppers will find a selection of food and beverages that they can add to their virtual cart.
