Looks as though they would need to use an AN-124 to ferry the ballast engine to Goose Bay.

The Beluga can easily do it with a tech stop in Shannon or Keflavik, but even a non-stop from Hamburg or Paris might be feasible with a less than full payload. It will depend on cost/availability, both types are capable. I would assume AB would rather use their own assets if possible.
