According to Wikipedia they're 60% state owned. It's like Thai or Malaysian flying to the US, which they both have tried on and off. It's more prestige than anything else, there isn't enough business traffic to justify it. However, I read somewhere recently that the CGK runways can't handle non stops to Europe due to the soil/runway construction.
