In Sept. 1990 this group testified on the costs of phasing out older, relatively noisy aircraft and on how these costs would be affected by the independent adoption of noise restrictions by airports. In Nov. 1990 the Airport Noise and Capacity Act of 1990 was enacted. This act phased out the noisiest jets currently in use by the year 2000 and limits the discretion of airports to adopt their own noise restrictions. This report briefly describes the likely effects of this Act on the costs to the airline industry of aviation noise restrictions.
