I think it would be cool of there was an "Air" zone above the world where airships can travel around, possibly to new continents once the world is expanded, all the while being able to see the terrain below you. put a Sky city up there as well and some airship PVP. If we can build our own airships and equip them as we see fit I could see that being great PvP content.
If anything, an airship would make for a wonderful gil sink.

Would you like to buy an airship for 50 mil directly from an NPC, buy the 25,000 mats required to build it or just slowly collect everything yourself before getting it built.

Then there's maintenance. "You're airship is at 24%. It'll cost 200k to repair your airship from an NPC, which will rendered it unusable for an hour." Or you could do the repairs yourself and have it available immediately.
