I believe the answer is:

left in the air

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'wouldn't give a decision to but didn't' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'allow to land' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'allow' could be 'le' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'le' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for left in the air that I've seen before include "Held in limbo" , "Stranded; remains undecided" , "Held pending" .)
