Do you work in the bmi planning department?!
Flight crew, engineers, HQ office staff, insurance, maintenance, airways fees, airport fees, handling fees, there are many other expenses!

Btw, none of the bmi Embraers can hold 6400L of fuel. The book says capacity is 5146L which is 4173kg. Airlines work in kg, and its rare to be able to get more than 4000kg into the tanks. So that's 5000L. I couldn't follow your maths but I think you're out by a factor of 2 on the fuel burn. NCL-BRU would be about 1400 kg or 1750 L. Often less with a bit of work from the crew on shortcuts, cruise speed and descent efficiency.
