Clearly the ending is fundamentally and deliberately ambiguous or so many people wouldn't be asking what it means! However I don't read the connection between shooting down the third plane as directly ending the simulation. Blake kills his March version without ruining reality, and it's hinted that the Chinese killed the passengers of their second plane without effect. But maybe I just prefer to believe the American military didn't end the simulation because the June passengers deserve new lives. Killing off all his characters yanks the rug out on the happy endings Le Tellier grants some of them, especially Victor. Perhaps the last page indicates that the simulation is deteriorating, glitching the way a video or online image might... or maybe, as reading a novel is its own sort of "simulation," it's the reader's invented world that coming to an end, quite apart from the characters'.
