On Friday, July 31st, 2026, the Italian government imposed border checks with Spain following an influx of tens of thousands of migrants in Ceuta, a Spanish North African enclave. This decision temporarily suspends Spain’s Schengen border-free rights, an agreement that normally allows citizens of European member states to move freely across borders.
The suspension impacts flights and maritime transport between Italy and Spain, marking a significant shift in European border policy in response to the migrant crisis in Ceuta.
