Atlanta airport will be ready to field the tens of thousands of additional visitors expected for next month's Super Bowl despite the ongoing US government shutdown, which has left critical airport personnel unpaid, a spokesperson said Tuesday.
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL), already the world's busiest, expects to see an additional 125,000 passengers ahead of the February 3 game and is bringing in reinforcements to meet the additional numbers, said Elise Durham, the airport's director of communications.
More than 1,800 volunteers will help passengers navigate the airport while additional customer engagement agents will be on hand to assist people entering and exiting the city, she added.

Durham said the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), the federal agency responsible for airport security screening, had committed additional resources for the Super Bowl, before the government shutdown.
'That commitment still stands and we expect to have additional TSA officers to support the increased operations,' Durham said.
'We also will have additional contract security on hand during the 10-day operational period.'
ATL handles about 270,000 passengers a day - four times the capacity of Mercedes Benz Stadium where the NFL event takes place
She said the airport typically handles about 270,000 passengers a day.
'(That) equates to about four times the Mercedes Benz Stadium at capacity -- every day,' she said, referring to the venue where the NFL's championship game will be held.
'As the first touchpoint for fans traveling to the big game our first priority, as it is every day, is the safe and secure movement of our passengers and employees.'
TSA said the airport had planned additional resources for the event before the government shutdown
The partial US government shutdown, which is the result of a political dispute over funding for a wall along the US southern border, entered its 25th day on Tuesday.
The shutdown has led 800,000 federal workers, including TSA agents and air traffic controllers, to go without pay.
A jump in unscheduled absences by security screeners was seen on Sunday but a TSA spokesperson said security had not been compromised at U.S. airports.

Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International...
It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
