Clients in the United States have included Ameriquest, the New York City Police Department and Fujifilm (USA) Inc., which used a Skyship 600 type airship in the US since 1984, starting with the Los Angeles Summer Olympics. A Sky-ship was also used over the Olympic Games in Seoul, Korea in 1988 and the Atlanta Olympics in 1996. In addition, AMS provided two Sky-ships for use over the Athens Olympics in 2004, one for use by Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) and the Hellenic Police in Greece, and the other for broadcasting by NBC TV.
Since 1980, fifteen Sky-ships were designed, built, and operated around the world for such customers as Japan Airlines, the Korean Sports Foundation, Fuji film, the Tokyo Police, Citibank, the French Ministry of the Interior, and Pepsi-Cola. In addition, “Sky-cruises” (passenger tours) operated over London, Paris, Munich, Sydney, Melbourne, Switzerland and San Francisco.
A Sky-ship was used for a tour across Europe during 2006, from London to Paris to Rome to Athens, promoting The Palm Islands project in Dubai, United Arab Emirates
