As I mentioned elsewhere, airlines have to do a good bit of special-casing anyway, largely for weird airports. If the Wong Sort of A318 lands in LCY, say, it may not be able to take off again (and in any case it would probably be a major regulatory incident).

There’s also a human in the loop who should catch scheduling software mistakes; it’s part of the pilot’s job to confirm that all is well before taking off.
