An official at the Portland International Jetport said roughly 125 Transportation Security Administration employees are not getting paid amidst a partial shutdown of the federal government, but passengers are not experiencing the long lines and delays reported at some other airports across the country.

“We are still normal operations here,” Zachary Sundquist, the jetport’s assistant director, said Monday. “We remain incredibly grateful to all our TSA officers who continue to show up and screen passengers.”

U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warned last week in an interview on CNBC that small airports could close due to staffing shortages if the shutdown continues. He did not name specific airports that could be affected.

“You’re going to see small airports, I believe, shut down,” Duffy said. “You’re going to see extensive lines.”

Over the weekend, federal officials ordered immigration enforcement officers to assist TSA agents at some airports.

Sundquist said he is not concerned that the jetport would close or require assistance from other federal agencies.

“Certainly we’ve seen the media reports today from airports around the country on different federal law enforcement assisting TSA at larger airports, but we have not experienced anything like that here,” Sundquist said.

TSA did not immediately respond to an email with questions about the shutdown.

Nearly 400 TSA officers across the country have quit their jobs since the government shutdown began in February, and others have taken time off or called out of work to earn money on the side.

Duffy said in the interview with CNBC that 10% of officers were calling out of work, which is about five times the normal rate. TSA said in a news release last week that callouts have been as high as 50% in Houston and more than 30% in New Orleans and Atlanta. This is the third time these employees have gone without pay during a government shutdown in less than a year, Duffy said.

Sundquist said the jetport is not seeing the hourslong wait times reported at some major airports.

“That’s not saying there haven’t been callouts, but nothing impacting our ability to screen, or longer lines,” he said. “We appreciate our local TSA and their commitment to getting passengers safely to their destinations.”

Nearly 2.6 million passengers flew in and out of the Portland International Jetport in 2025.

Everett Kelley, national president of the American Federation of Government Employees, said in a press release Sunday that TSA officers “deserve to be paid, not replaced” by ICE agents.

“Our members at TSA have been showing up every day, without a paycheck, because they believe in the mission of keeping the flying public safe,” Kelley said.

Jennifer Mehigan, director of media relations at Boston Logan International Airport, said in an email that the airport is not experiencing any impacts from the shutdown and deferred further questions to TSA.
