Massport released a statement Thursday morning saying Logan Airport will be one of the 40 airports impacted by the FAA reducing air traffic by 10%, starting Friday, as a result of the government shutdown.

“We are awaiting more information from the FAA on which flights will be impacted,” Massport said. “For those traveling over the next few days, we do anticipate delays and cancellations and strongly urge passengers to check with their airline before coming to the airport.”

Read Massport’s full statement below:

Boston Logan has been named as one of 40 airports that may experience a reduction in flights in order to maintain the operational safety of the nation’s airspace. These changes, announced by the FAA, are set to begin tomorrow, November 7th.

We are awaiting more information from the FAA on which flights will be impacted. For those traveling over the next few days, we do anticipate delays and cancellations and strongly urge passengers to check with their airline before coming to the airport.

Our federal partners have continued to come to work admirably under challenging circumstances, and we remain in close communication with them, as well as with our airline partners, to minimize disruptions and keep passengers informed.
