Branded Airships – Frequently Asked Questions

Looking for a unique way to make your event unforgettable? Our branded radio-controlled airships combine eye-catching advertising with live aerial filming to deliver a show-stopping experience. Safe to fly indoors, equipped with high-resolution cameras, and customisable with your branding, they’re designed to entertain, engage and leave a lasting impression. Below, we’ve answered some of the most common questions about how our airships work and what makes them so effective.

What is a branded airship?

A branded airship is a radio-controlled blimp that carries your branding or messaging and flies safely above crowds at arenas, exhibitions and live events. Unlike drones, our airships (available in sizes up to 5 metres in length) are designed for indoor venues and guaranteed to grab attention.

 

How can branded airships be used at events?

They are perfect for:

  • Advertising & sponsorship – flying your logo or campaign message where it can’t be missed.

  • Audience interaction – dropping vouchers or giveaways to create a real talking point.

  • Live broadcasting – streaming smooth, high-quality aerial footage to venue screens.

  • Entertainment – performing graceful or choreographed manoeuvres that wow the crowd.

And the best part? 100% of the advertising and sponsorship revenue goes back to the event organiser.

Are they safe to fly over people?

Yes. Our airships are designed to fly safely over uncontrolled crowds in busy indoor venues. We provide full RAMS (Risk Assessments and Method Statements), hold specialist insurance, and take care of all health and safety requirements in partnership with venue teams and external consultants.

What makes them different from drones?

While drones are fantastic outdoors, our airships are purpose-built for indoor events where safety and spectacle are crucial. They:

  • Fly silently and gracefully overhead.

  • Offer a longer flight time than drones.

  • Carry large, highly visible branding.

  • Can include a live camera feed for broadcast.

  • Create lasting memories through audience interaction.

Can the airships carry cameras?

Yes. Our technicians have developed a miniaturised, stabilised high-resolution camera system that attaches to the airship, capturing smooth aerial footage. This can be broadcast live to venue screens and repurposed for marketing campaigns, social media and promotional content after the event.

Do you provide a crew?

Yes. Every booking includes a full professional crew, with an experienced pilot and camera operator to ensure everything runs smoothly from take-off to landing.

What types of projects do you cover?

Our branded airships support a wide range of events and productions, including:

  • Film premieres

  • Product launch parties

  • Live sports & music events

  • Trade shows & exhibitions

  • Corporate films & branded content

  • Brand activations & experiential marketing

Do you customise the branding?

Absolutely. Each airship can be fully customised with your brand colours, logos and campaign messaging. We can also design custom shapes such as imitation hot air balloons, logos, or even product replicas like cars and planes — ensuring your brand is impossible to miss.

How much experience do you have?

We’ve been specialists in aerial filming and creative aerial solutions since 2004, trusted by directors, producers, agencies and event organisers across the UK. 

Where do you operate?

We’re based in the Midlands UK in Nottingham’s Creative Quarter, but our branded airships fly at arenas, venues, trade shows and exhibitions nationwide.
