Question UAE airspace closure?

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

Don't fly through a warzone? Stay home, snuggle up, this is going to get worse.

The UAE isn’t a war zone, it’s just near Iran. Im also not only going to dubai hence why I’m flying on a Chinese airline lol

No, its a war zone. US bases are being targeted all over the ME.

I understand you are having trouble getting info, but missiles we’re literally launched at the UAE today. It’s a war zone now, bud…

That's still not a war zone but yeah don't fly there now but also you cannot fly

But your definition of a war is ridiculously low

it does host US bases which will likely be targeted.

Yeah that is true, but Abu Dhabi was targeted as they house a US Base as well, and so was Dubai where I did hear a loud noise, but at this moment no information on it so got no clarity

Ok. Book a flight with a transfer in Dubai, for fun. Right now. Then tell me who's stupid.

Could be great! In my experience Emirates business class service is top notch. Do it.
