The UAE has stressed the need for "stability and security" in Afghanistan and said it was closely monitoring developments.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Co-operation said it hoped all parties in Afghanistan would work towards this goal.
"The UAE confirmed that it is closely following recent developments in brotherly Afghanistan, stressing the need to urgently achieve stability and security in Afghanistan," read a statement published by state news agency Wam on Tuesday.
"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Co-operation expressed its hope that Afghan parties will exert all efforts to establish security and achieve stability and development in Afghanistan in a manner that fulfils the hopes and aspirations of its brotherly people."
The UAE's aviation authorities halted all flights to the country on Monday.
The decision followed the takeover of Kabul's Hamid Karzai International Airport, as chaos reigned in the capital, with planes unable to land or take off.
The UAE's General Civil Aviation Authority said the flight ban followed the "latest developments in Afghanistan, and assessing the current situation in co-ordination with the concerned authorities and national carriers in the UAE, in order to ensure the safe operation of airlines in the country".
"The General Authority of Civil Aviation also confirmed that it places the security and safety of civil aviation at the top of its list of priorities," it said.

Two-step truce
The UN-brokered ceasefire deal for Hodeidah will be implemented in two stages, with the first to be completed before the New Year begins, according to the Arab Coalition supporting the Yemeni government.
By midnight on December 31, the Houthi rebels will have to withdraw from the ports of Hodeidah, Ras Issa and Al Saqef, coalition officials told The National.
The second stage will be the complete withdrawal of all pro-government forces and rebels from Hodeidah city, to be completed by midnight on January 7.
The process is to be overseen by a Redeployment Co-ordination Committee (RCC) comprising UN monitors and representatives of the government and the rebels.
The agreement also calls the deployment of UN-supervised neutral forces in the city and the establishment of humanitarian corridors to ensure distribution of aid across the country.
