KALAMAZOO, MI New flight restrictions have been placed in advance of President Joseph Biden’s Friday visit to Portage.
The president’s planned visit on Thursday to the Pfizer facility just south of the airport on Portage Road was postponed due weather. Biden’s plane will be landing at Kalamazoo/Battle Creek International, Airport Director Craig Williams said.
The new flight restrictions are for private airlines, and run from 1:15 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Friday, Williams said. These restrictions are similar to what was set for in the original plans for the president’s visit on Thursday. It’s unlikely the restrictions on Friday will impact commercial flights at the airport, Williams said.

The new legislative session brings with it substantial turnover for the Michigan House of Representatives, which will have 28 new lawmakers serving their first full terms in office.
Most of the freshman class will fill House seats vacated by members who hit their six-year term limit serving in the state House, although some defeated incumbents or are replacing members who sought other offices last fall.
Speaker-elect Jason Wentworth, R-Clare, and Democratic Leader-elect Donna Lasinski, D-Scio Township, will fill the leadership slots left open by the departures of former Reps. Lee Chatfield and Christine Greig.
