MADRID — The Spanish government says Spain will suspend flights from Britain as of Tuesday except for those carrying Spanish citizens or people with Spanish residence.

The government said Monday that it had taken the decision in conjunction with Portugal and following consultation with the European Union.

Spain said it would also be stepping up border controls with Gibraltar, the British colony on Spain’s southwestern coast.
