All of those things for a modern airliner used to require humans all the time, then as we got better at it, humans are used less and less in the loop.

Refueling is an easy autonomous one.

Eventually you'd only need to inspect and clean the engine every x flights, etc. and maybe you just do that each time it's back on Earth.
