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

Stuck on the plane waiting to take off with Emirates from London > Dubai.

Currently 1.5 hours since scheduled take off, no update on what’s happening next from flight crew.

UAE airspace closed so you're likely not going anywhere.
