That’s why flight plans have diversion fields, with requirements to have enough field to get to the diversion airport, and even to hold _there_.


That also means that when ATC tells someone they will inform them in 10 minutes,they are obliged to tell them in 10 minutes, even if it's "sorry, we don't have a slot, we can get you info in next ten minutes or help you to diversion airport".

Not have to be reminded that there's a plane in holding waiting for information.

Unless they want a repeat of telling a plane to hold till it crashed into sea.
