Passengers flying out of Kempegowda International Airport, Bengaluru consume 5,000 dosas and 10,000 idlis every day according to a Global Exhibition Services report. The airport also sells 10,000 kg of Mysore Pak every month. This comes as the number of outlets increased from 5 in 2016 to 14 in 2019.
