[Asia Economy Reporter Dongwoo Lee] Korea Airports Corporation announced on the 27th that it will introduce contactless ordering and payment services at restaurants and cafes in regional airports such as Gimpo, Gimhae, Cheongju, and Daegu airports.

To this end, the corporation signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the 'Airport Food and Beverage Store Contactless Smart Order Service' with NHN Payco, KG Inicis, SPC Group, Lotte GRS, Pulmuone Food & Culture, and CJ Freshway.
