The partnership with Hudson is part of JFKIAT’s ongoing effort to offer a contactless customer experience.

The company partnered with Inflyter and DFS Group earlier this year to launch digital marketplace T4 Marketplace.

In 2019, JFKIAT launched AtYourGate, which enable customers to take delivery of their ordered food and beverages delivered at their gate.

JFKIAT president and CEO Roel Huinink said: “This partnership with Hudson is our latest move to enable a safe, seamless, and fully digital purchase process, creating a safer and more seamless journey for customers and employees.”

In August this year, Hudson revealed plans to launch Evolve by Hudson, a new shop-in-shop store concept designed for airports.
