I was gonna post a question asking why an EK 777 was parked up remotely, no need now. What was the reg? I wonder how much total cost a logistic operation like that cost, just to ship in a spare engine? Will it be fitted at Monarch Engineering or Tommy Cooks, the later I know has an engine shop.

Emirates fixed it themselves in TC’s shed. The engine was not changed in one “Lump” the propulsor or core part of the engine was. The Fan was not damaged so it did not need changing. It is a standard proceedure for the GE90 to do that when it is down the line because the whole engine is so large it is very difficult to ship one.
I THINK that you can only just get a “Bare” engine into an AN-124.
The propulsor came in on a TNT 747. It was well photographed when it was on the ramp.
