There is some An-124 enroute to Goose Bay right now that might deliver some spare engine. Likely just a dummy engine for some three engine ferry flight back to Europe for more serious repairs.

That's UR-82027. It was ferried from Kiev to Ostende yesterday and today made a 5h:41min flight to Goose Bay. |

Not only the failed engine has been removed but also the pylon which connect engine to the wing . Found a spare pylon shouldn't be easy.

I can't imagine that airline pilots do this ferry flight like routine ops. A three engine takeoff is very special. Imagine they lose another one, due to some bird strike or similar. I'd say this is serious test pilot stuff. After they are enroute, three engine flight is okay and no big drama.
