In network/online games, it seems to happen repeatedly that individual spaces at airports remain reserved.
This isn't a problem on taxiways, as aircraft can still drive over them.
It's a problem on runways, as aircraft don't land but instead circle in holding patterns.
If this occurs on takeoff runways (which I haven't noticed yet), then it's likely that aircraft won't be able to take off from those runways.

Reconnecting, which triggers a save and load process, fixes it. However, you have to notice it happening.
This reservation error occurred after a disconnect and reconnect.
