Travelers can expect that airports will look different in the coming months and they may find new fixtures like Hudson's PPE vending machines stocked with essentials to support a healthy journey. The machines from the travel experience expert are set to be introduced to North American airports as of this month and these units will be situated at pre-security locations.
Travelers and essential airport workers who have forgotten their PPE at home can rely on the vending machines, especially as they offer a safe shopping experience. Although the vending machine—which accepts credit cards—does use a touchscreen, it will be sealed with an anti-microbial shield that will be replaced every few months.
