“If there was an outage, we hope it will be resolved and quickly,” Jennifer Mehigan, a spokeswoman for Massport, said in an email.

Mehigan emphasized that employees who Employees working for the Transportation Security Administration, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the Air Marshals and the Federal Aviation Administration “are all essential employees, so staff who work in Logan will continue to come to work.”

“We are in constant communication with our federal partners (we meet with them daily) and, at this time, we do not expect any interruption of service in the event of a closure,” she said. “We will certainly keep the public informed of any changes. »

Republicans scrapped a bipartisan plan Wednesday to prevent a shutdown after President-elect Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk spoke out against the plan. Trump asked House Speaker Mike Johnson to renegotiate the deal days before the deadline when federal funding runs out.

Each federal agency determines its own plan for how to handle a shutdown, but basically all government operations deemed nonessential cease to occur, and hundreds of thousands of federal employees could see their jobs disrupted.

Sometimes workers are furloughed, meaning they keep their jobs but are temporarily not working until the government reopens. Other federal workers may remain on the job without pay, hoping to be fully reimbursed once the government reopens.
