A digital creator, Ansh Mehra(@anshmehra.in), recently uploaded a video on Instagram which showed a huge Hershey’s advertisement at Gate 78 in the International Departures terminal. The setup included a bright red-coloured arch with Hershey’s written on the top.

Ansh Mehra also mentioned that Boarding Gate 1, which is used by celebrities, also had advertising on it. He called it “insane” and mentioned that he did not know that it was possible. The text on the video read, “Mumbai Airport has started to sell boarding gates as AD space.”
