Mr. Abeywardena said that the agreement would be signed with INTERPOL, recognized airlines, and relevant security agencies to implement an iBorder Management System.
Accordingly, airlines will provide the Department of Immigration with the particulars of its passengers, 48 hours before taking off from countries which have been affected by terrorism.
