VFR route update

Kent Arrival in North Flow discontinued effective March 19, 2026

The Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) at King County International Airport-Boeing Field would like all airport users and tenants to be aware of the following change.

For pilots flying under VFR (Visual Flight Rules): effective March 19, 2026, the Kent Arrival in North Flow is discontinued. All other VFR routes remain accurate.

Additional changes to the VFR routes are forthcoming. Airport staff are working with ATCT to update the VFR routes on the airport website and for distribution to pilots. The FAA requires additional time to revise airspace constraints. As a result, the official changes and cutover date are anticipated to be announced closer to May.

Please ensure that flight crews and relevant staff are made aware of the discontinuation of the Kent Arrival in North Flow effective March 19, 2026.

Airport users with questions can contact Airport Operations anytime at 206-296-7334 or AirportOps@kingcounty.gov.
