TL;DR
Recent traveler reports say things are calm in the UAE: Sharjah is quiet, planes are flying throughout the day, and a recent flight from Yekaterinburg landed normally at 8:15. These messages do not suggest a broad airspace shutdown, but checking your flight status in real time is still wise.

Even after morning news about air defense activity and attacks around 6:30, one flight from Yekaterinburg still arrived normally and landed at 8:15. Based on this example, inbound flights to the UAE were continuing as usual.

Travelers flying soon are still monitoring the news and their flight status, but these reports do not point to a widespread airspace closure. The practical takeaway is to check your specific arrival or departure rather than relying only on headlines.
