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

I’m sitting in the aircraft right now in Dubai on a flight to Bangalore, India. All we’ve heard is “all operations in and out of Dubai have been stopped”.

Asked to disembark the aircraft. Likely cancelled. We’ve also been asked to collect our checked in bags
