	JAL to snatch Garuda  Indonesia code-share  pact away from ANA TOKYO/JAKARTA --  Japan Airlines and Garuda  Indonesia are poised to enter   into a code-sharing arrangement  that could lead to a joint venture,  with Garuda expected to cancel  a years-old partnership with JAL  rival All Nippon Airways. JAL and Garuda are set to finalize the agreement in September before starting code-shared flights between Japan and Indonesia the following month. Many Japanese companies have operations in the Southeast Asian country, and the route is in high demand, but JAL runs few flights from the Tokyo area to Jakarta.
