"Airships have been touted as an environmentally friendly and efficient option for carrying large amounts of cargo far distances, and their ability to take off and land in a short distance in any environment, including desert, ice, water, or open fields.

They have been proposed as potentially important game-changers for getting food, supplies and medical services to remote and First Nations communities; transporting equipment, people and ore to and from remote mining sites; and serving as a platform for eco-tourism."

....but you just know that there would be someone/group out there who would be up in arms positing that such a plan might potentially interfere with the migratory patterns of one or more bird species...
