Goodyear Blimp Ride Certificates

Rides on the Goodyear Blimp are not available for sale. Instead, the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company directs the tremendous public interest in blimp flights towards non-profits in the communities around its airship bases.

Over the past 5 years, Goodyear Blimp ride certificates have helped various non-profit organizations soar to new heights, raising over $1.5 million at their fundraising events.

Thank you for your interest in submitting a request for a ride certificate on the Goodyear Blimp. Each year, the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company receives hundreds of requests for ride certificates for our world-famous Goodyear Blimps. The opportunities for charitable ride certificates are very limited because the blimps are often flying to deliver value for Goodyear.
