This is a problem -- flying airplanes is almost secondary. Airlines are primarily logistics companies running entirely on software.

These big industry companies are lagging behind in technology and they always will, because they associate revenue to sales, marketing and account management, and they see business operations and IT as operating cost, and not a part of the product. And they have little incentive to change, because the low margins and high capex are barriers to entry that keep venture capital out.
