    There are a number of reasons:

    1. History – the airline system is older than Java. It might need a rewrite, but it’s not in progress today that I know of.
    2. Real time generally steers clear of garbage collection, because you can’t have the system waiting at a delicate juncture for the GC thread to finish its work. Things have to be more deterministic in real time control situations. This would be true of Java, C#, and any other language that uses GC.

    There is a real time version of Java, but I don’t know how widely it’s used.

    I’m not sure that the conclusion of C/C++ always being faster than Java is still true for JDK 6. A lot has changed since the 1.0 version when a lot of the benchmarks were performed (e.g., faster object creation, new memory model, new generational GC algorithms, revised reflection, etc.).
