We have extremely slow draining in the kitchen sink. We have snaked the drain thourghly but it still seems to clog only a minute after the water is running. Could this be air in the line and how do we get rid of it.

No, it could not be air in the drain line. There is always air in the drain line.

Run the line a few times, it will clear out, what happenes is if the line is long and not graded right, you can run a clogged line, pass through the blockage and not effect it, keep trying it will clear.
