Boston’s Logan Airport has been named as one of the nation’s top airports subject to an FAA-imposed 10% cut in air traffic coming in response to the federal government shutdown and increasing pressures on air traffic controllers who are being forced to work without pay.

In a statement, Massport, which operates Boston Logan International said the hub “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.”

Traffic reductions are set to take effect on Friday, Nov. 7.

In addition to Logan, affected airports include those at Atlanta, Denver, Dallas, Orlando, Miami, and San Francisco. In some of the biggest cities — such as New York, Houston and Chicago — multiple airports will be affected.
