I suspect the reasons proposed in post #22 are rather more feasible than the suggestion that a large proportion of UK airports have suddenly become incapable of supplying basic stats on their operations.

Almost all airports have made the change, the third party has adapted, but the CAA system (or website?) cannot yet accept figures in the revised format.
Maybe with Brexit looming they can stick two fingers up to the EU regulation and reinstate the old system that the CAA seemed to be able to cope OK with?
