Basically cargo hauling into destroyed warzones and the arctic.

There are quite a few civil engineering projects, bot mid- and large-scale, which require specialized transport to locations that are hard to reach. Do note that in practice this airship also provides lifting services, so it gets the cargo where it is needed and also drops it off where it is supposed to be.
