We fly the icons.

Skyship Services is the owner-operator of North America's airship fleet — combining the otherworldly "bigness" of airships with out-of-the-box thinking to build campaigns brands remember and audiences can't miss.

Who We Are

A full-service Lighter-Than-Air company.

From concept to execution, our team manages every part of an aerial campaign: custom envelope design and printing, FAA and airspace coordination, crewing and ground operations, broadcast integration and on-ground activations — including once-in-a-lifetime blimp rides.

We don't broker other people's aircraft. We own and operate the fleet, which means your campaign flies exactly the way it was imagined, on a timeline we control.
