Helium-filled airships operated in recent decades for advertising, sightseeing and television coverage rather than for transport. An entry belongs here when the cited article calls the craft a commercial airship or helium-filled airship. It excludes rigid airships of the 1920s and 1930s. Entries are placed by what their own cited article says, so each one sits in the narrowest group its source supports, and the group page lists it beside the other members.
