I get that there's a lot of complexity involved in running an airline, but none of those numbers are very big. In fact, they're pretty small. What specific tech challenges do you see that require building your own datacenter? My guess is that the reason it's set up this way is that it was built a long time ago in its current form and it's not worth the cost to rebuild / not worth the regulatory hurdles of moving to the cloud. |

The problem is you're thinking of it as a "build more datacenters" problem.
It is not a problem of needing datacenters. It is not a problem of needing a bunch more computers. It is a problem of needing a combination of data, access to the data, communications and people. That is the thing that is complex to set up and complex and expensive to replicate and not worth the cost.
