Obviously I have no idea where this is going to go, but this does not sound or look like it will be a conflict that will clear up tomorrow. What should we expect from Emirates in terms of re-scheduling accommodation? They gave no information other than the statement on airspace closure. They haven't been known to be all that accommodating in the past. Flying Tuesday and would love to just move my flight, but fear I may have to wait until it is cancelled.
While this answer may not be what you want to hear, I would recommend that you wait until the flight is cancelled -- all EK contact centres are either not taking calls or trying to resolve the immediately cancelled flights. I originally had a flight departing 7 hours from now, I only received the cancellation ~15 minutes ago [~8 hours after EK suspended all operations]. EK is in triage at the moment and trying to get on top of its operational situation, I don't see them working on Tuesday flights until Monday. Many agents who operate the Arabic line (while also able to serve English lines) are also fasting for Ramadan which also reduces their working hours.
If you are able and don't mind paying the change fee for your peace of mind, I would try to move your flights online.
The official line is this from EK Travel Update Centre:
