Goodyear Blimp Program Marks 100 Years 

Jan. 2, 2025

Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. will mark the centennial of its blimp program in 2025 by flying through more than 100 cities across North America and Europe. 

Goodyear also will give three U.S. residents a chance to win a flight in the blimp via the company's newly announced “Buy a Chance to Fly” sweepstakes.  

Each winner will receive a blimp flight certificate for two passengers redeemable at any of Goodyear's three U.S. airship bases - Carson, Calif.; Pompano Beach, Fla.; or Akron, Ohio - along with a $3,000 voucher for travel and accommodations. 

"The Goodyear Blimp is an enduring symbol of both nostalgia and innovation for fans around the world,” says Mark Stewart, CEO and president of Goodyear.
