I have never been aware that it was confirmed that the plane was waiting for Harry, it does make sense , the air force base is roughly 30 minute drive from Windsor. The family must have known since morning that there was an issue, a flight was arranged, Harry himself has said that he had words with his father over Meghan travelling so maybe it did wait for him. The thing is we only have Harrys version of the story, he claims William did not get back to him, could somebody else have got in touch regarding arrangements. Just because William didn't respond does not mean that nobody came back to him.
I can see why William would not respond to Harry. There was very little information in the public domain wrt to the health of QE2 at the time. Communicating directly with Harry would mean having to tell Harry the true state of QE2's health, and risk it being leaked by H&M to the US media, before BP were willing to release the information. To me, that is a strong enough reason to not respond to Harry.
As regards logistics, Harry could always reach out to William's office to liaise re logistics, or speak to Andrew, Edward or Sophie. He did not need William to communicate directly with him, IMO.
