It's doubtful of the actual usefulness of this Airplane Mode toggle.
What it really does is disable Wireless, but that still doesn't disable
bluetooth (and possibly not mobile broadband either in some cases). Then
comes how to display this, when there is already an indication in the
form of the empty signal icon (that kind of pizza slice icon).
That's without counting how broken all the implementations of "airplane
mode" are everywhere, considering you can and should be able to override
it to still enable wireless... and now some flights do allow wireless on
board, in flight.
Keeping as Wishlist/Triaged. This will need some careful thought and
discussion with upstream; patches and design proposals are welcome, of
course.

Title:
nm-applet should change icon to indicate Airplane Mode
Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
When an ubuntu user enables "Airplane Mode" (System Settings >
Network: Airplane Mode = On), the Network Status Indicator should
change its appearance/icon to indicate that this special mode is
enabled. Perhaps it should change to the icon of an airplane.
The user needs some form of communication (some form of indication) of
the Airplane Mode status in the panel.
