They probably used a real ticket jacket for an airline that's still around (as opposed to Pan Am or Eastern, for example), and the airline didn't want to be associated with drug dealers on the run. There was most likely a high level phone call made asking for a little consideration for a little consideration. We probably would have heard if the lawyers got involved, but the airline could have made an arguement that they were harmed monetarily by the implication that they were the airline of choice for drug mules and that ticket sales suffered. It's another question altogether as to whether that would be a sucessful arguement, but it very well could have been.
