In regards to airlines, Google and Amadeus have a partnership I believe. Amadeus is the main source of data for many of these airline websites. If Google gets the data from Amadeus directly and not these websites, they are just cutting out the middleman. I don't shed a tear for any of these middleman (together with their Dark Pattern UX design).

For flight status, Google is pulling from OAG and Flight Aware, and also from airline websites. Though they don't show airline sites as a source.
