Amends the Airport and Airway Development Act to authorize the Secretary of Transportation to make grants to any person (other than foreign air carriers) engaged in air transportation for compensation to assist in the financing of modifications for specified types of turbojet-powered airplanes in order to enable such aircraft to comply with certain noise standards.
