I don't know if they do, but I don't think so.
I have no idea why not, it seems like a perfect ad gimmick for them.
YES! A blimp is basically a big balloon, a zeppelin is a Dirigible - it has a structure usually inside it. (And technically a Zeppelin can only be made by the Zeppelin company - Or Jimmy Page.)
Several.

That includes blimps, Zeppelins, and a few miscellaneous other sorts of airships.
Most of the recent ones involving blimps have led to no injuries.
My favorite from the list..........
4 May 2012: An Israeli spy blimp crashed when a crop duster struck the blimp's side.
The crop duster pilot now works for a grading company which will remain unnamed.
(Seriously, how oblivious does someone have to be to NOT see a blimp right where they're going to be flying a plane it's not like blimps are small or fast. )
