Possibilities include, but are not limited to - runway blocked by an "Incident", aircraft holding to resolve a technical (Undercarriage?) problem, comms failure, temporary lack of legally required Crash/fire cover, something else.

Yesterday flights at Exeter were delayed because a pilot was arrested on the apron for being drunk in charge.

Doubt any airline operating in the UK takes 1.5 hours holding fuel.
