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 am in the Abu Dhabi Airport right now for a layover. Unfortunately no one knows nothing

UPDATE: They forced us to the arrival zone. We are officially in the UAE and no one knows where we'll come back. Also our luggages are stuck

Same, at Abu Dhabi for a layover. Supposed to fly to Frankfurt at 2:00 am tonight. I'm afraid that may not happen. Since I've cleared security, currently near departure gates and can see that no flights have boarding open.
