Capt Gidday- As well as freight, the bit you didn't account for was the cost of keeping an A380 parked at Sydney all day from 6am til 2115. Much cheaper for EK to send it across the pond.
$154 per hour to park an A380 at Sydney. An A380 would burn more than that just on the all the taxiing for a return across the pond.
