From the Kenmore Air website:
A just-announced visit to the Seattle area by President Obama will shut down Seattle airspace to most flights for approximately six hours around mid-day on Tuesday, August 17. This will prevent Kenmore Air from operating its seaplane flights from at least 10am to 4 pm. There may be delays or cancellations on Kenmore Air Express flights to and from Boeing Field as well, though we expect these impacts to be less significant.Our customer service agents are calling passengers already booked on potentially affected flights to offer re-accommodation or refund. If you have a reservation to fly with us on Tuesday the 17th and have questions about your flight's status, please call our Reservation Line at 866.435.9524.
We greatly regret any inconvenience arising from these presidential security restrictions.
