For

Planes been delayed for another hr. And

Planes been delayed, not leaving for another hr.

Do they basically have the same meaning?

Not necessarily. First, neither of these sentences are grammatically correct, but I think what you are referring to would look like this: S1: The plane's (conjunction: plane has ) been delayed for another hour. S2: The plane's been delayed, and is not leaving for another hour.
