i have no information on definitive cause, but looking at the flight path then potentially atc restrictions over France due to their ATC strikes.

It looks like the flight was doors open at 13:22, 37 minutes late. I am guessing you had quite a tight connection ?
Tight connection, plane was at alicante at 10:40 AM. Was scheduled for 11AM departure, ended up departing 1 hour and 11 minutes late, boarding started 37 minutes late, due to this they lost their slot, so then we had a runway delay. We were literally 20 min late to the connecting flight

Boarding didn't take long, flight was pretty empty.

at first they cited weather.. but I didn't see bad weather pretty much anywhere relevant that day, so believe it was a made up reason to not compensate people like me.
