The problem here is they needed a complete engine (with pylon and all) plus the Antonov to bring it (Antonov has a three or four week waiting list I have heard).
Sounds like a big $$$ hit to all involved. Could be that some insurance is involved since the damage is larger than most operators carry on their own.

Does it have to be an Antinov or can an Airbus Guppy handle it?
