Yes. Yes. No. You'll feel like you're on LY.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

I'm actually trying to figure out how many frum Jews do this route daily, thinking of setting up a small sandwich shop in KBP (to help generate some extra revenue for the community in Kiev)

Don't know numbers but I imagine that would raise it significantly. Just the thought that's it's Jewish enough to have kosher food while more mainstream airports have zero will do alot to change worrywarts perceptions and preconceived notions.

Iv'e been in touch with an executive at the airlines, but she can't give me numbers of "frum" Jews vs just travelers - airport real estate is extremely expensive....

Can't be too hard. Just ask people how many frum Jews they noticed on the flights. It's not like we blend in all that well.

There's plenty of traffic TLV-KBP too. (Last couple times I flew were admittedly busy times, but there were dozens of frum people on the flights.)

Ha, if market research was that simple.
Responses (How many orthodox Jews were on the flight to/from KBP/JFK) so far:
"Most of the flight"
"a few"
"half I guess"
"a handful"

It's the most precise way. Have people look out in the future. It's not incredibly hard to get a rough estimate.

You would have to sell to the general public as well if you want to have a chance of making money.

You have to ask yourself: Frum Jews aside, is this a good business? Do the numbers add up? How many sandwiches would you have to sell to cover all the costs? What else can you sell alongside the sandwiches to generate more revenues? Salads, Drinks, Coffee?

Maybe you should advertise as a Kosher/Halal stand. That way you might get the Muslim business as well. Or maybe Chabad would be interested in doing something with you and you can use some Yeshiva Bucrim on Shlichus to work for free.

If you can get the amount of travelers requesting KSML you can get a ballpark figure.

If you sell Badatz sandwiches and they didn't eat on the flight you can expect them to buy multiple sandwiches.

I flew through kbp 3 times, twice in middle of the year and there was quite a nice amount of frum Jews, and once in chodesh Nissan, and it looked like there were more frum Jews then gentiles.
