Hospitality group OTG will begin deploying Amazon's Just Walk Out cashierless technology in select CIBO Express Gourmet Markets in airport locations next week.

The initial launch will take place March 16 at Newark Liberty's Terminal C in New Jersey, and then at more market locations within that airport as well as New York's LaGuardia airport, according to a press release.

The news comes within a week of Amazon announcing it would sell its Just Walk Out technology to other retailers. OTG has 100 CIBO markets in 10 major airports.

"We've found that shoppers truly appreciate checkout-free retail experiences, so we're thrilled to be working with an innovative company like OTG to bring our proven Just Walk Out technology to their airport stores," said Dilip Kumar, vice president, physical retail technology at Amazon, in the release.

Rick Blatstein, CEO of OTG, said the introduction of Amazon's Just Walk Out technology in OTG stores will revolutionize the airport experience for travelers.

"We're incredibly proud to be integrating Amazon's Just Walk Out technology into the OTG airport experience," said Blatstein in the release. "OTG has always embraced technology as a means of optimizing the airport experience so that we can give our guests their time back. By using the world's most advanced shopping technology in our CIBO Express Gourmet Markets, we're doing just that by putting our guests in full control of their time."
