The software that BA uses for tracking aircraft, crew, sourcing weather info, logging departures etc (FICO) was introduced in the 70s and is still a key part of the operation today.

Allegedly (and I can’t find any evidence for this other than rumour & hearsay) it’s a derivative of British Rail’s TOPS system, which itself dates to the 60s.
