My parents were pax on said flight, they told me of a last minute aborted landing, then an hour in hold followed by a seemingly routine touchdown. Apparently because of "something to do with the runway".

Be nice to know what happened.
Heavy rain, crew couldn't see the runway, went around at decision height, waited for weather clearing up a bit and landed 25 minutes later.
