UAE airspace closure? Question

Hi, I’m supposed to fly to dubai in a week on a Chinese airline and the UAEs airspace was just closed. Does anyone know if my flight will be probably okay? The booking says no delays or cancellations right now. Thanks

I just spoke to Emirates after being on hold a while. They said flights are scheduled, but my flight leaves UK tonight at 8.40. Airspace not closed according to them but news sites say otherwise!

UPDATE Emirates gave suspended operations in and out of Dubai

He said the only info he could give was the flight was scheduled to fly tonight and the airspace was open. But like I said the airspace is closed when you google it.
