I am confused: they talk about terrorists & critically etc. And they have only 1 site holding their entire system with no backup ? A couple of fibers to cut and those baddies cripple your airline ? I am pretty sure they would be in a better situation by being hosted, redundant and secure at a cloud provider... Disclosure: I work on Google Cloud.

Google Cloud has had at least two major outages just this year. April 11, 2016 [1], and Feb. 18-19, 2016 [2].

  So build redundancy across all three major cloud providers. If AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud all go down at the same time, odds are there are bigger problems in the world.

>>I am confused: they talk about terrorists & critically etc. And they have only 1 site holding their entire system with no backup ? They did have backup systems. Except those were located at the same place as the production systems and the fire destroyed them too.
