He's said it's going to reopen, but plans won't be announced 'til later today.
And until plans are revealed, we have no idea if CO will be operating.
The Post says flights will be very limited at first,with White House officials saying they expect flights to be limited to NY and BOS, where the shuttles operate and to several hubs (though none are identified). There was no indication if service to other cities will be resumed.

I just spoke with folks at both US and CO. They both indicated they may NOT be ready to fly to all locales on Thursday.
The US shuttle is probably OK, but other cities may be a few days later. They've got to get the planes back to town, have to recall all the laid off workers and, the biggest deal: the upgraded security has to be in place.
Of course, other agents may have other ideas.
