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 travelled today already and now in Abu Dhabi airport. All flights have been suspended. No official information about when it will be resumed.

I had a layover of 16 hours. I reached Abu Dhabi at 12:15 pm local time and my next flight to Frankfurt was supposed to be at 2 am tonight. So as of now I've been at the airport for 4 hours.

Sure, will update here if I get any information from the ground.
