We want to help the world becoming aware of the potential of airships and we want investors to understand the importance of alternative ways of transportation. Thanks for your article it's one more step for airships into the collective consciousness.

But they could already be deployed here to replace seaplanes (noisy, uncomfortable but happily nostalgic) and helicopters (even noisier, cramped and hideously expensive) for trips between Vancouver and Victoria. That's thirty minutes flying time or several hours by ferry by the time you add the congested highways and long waits at the terminal. And BC folk like to think they are green since Greenpeace was born here. I had never before seriously contemplated the idea of air ships as part of the transit system.
