Do you think it's possible that, after a C- or D-check and cabin retrofit, AF has decided to keep it stored in CGK instead of CDG because of storage prices lower than in CDG ? Like BA parking their A380 in CHR instead of LHR because cheaper ? This is the only logical reason I see. And what we see on FR24 is just some "daily exercising activities" ?
Really weird as the weather in CGK is not exactly the most recommended one for aircraft storage.

SQ has moved some of their frames in the Australian desert for instance, certainly not in CGK.
