The NTSB called on the Federal Aviation Administration to require ultrasound inspections of all GEnx-powered 787s and 747s not already inspected before any further flight.

Wish there was more info here. Does this mean that all GEnx powered aircraft are grounded, wherever they are? How many aircraft are affected? Where? How many passengers will be stranded in airports worldwide?

The NTSB is aware that about 47 on-wing GEnx-2B engines remain uninspected and is concerned that they continue to operate while potentially susceptible to FMS failure.

Sounds like it's really going to affect the delivery of new planes until they figure out what the problem is.
