This whole piece around Garlean ariships /lack of navy maybe tangentially relates to the information in 4.4 about
a shield in the Burn forcing Garlean airships to struggle in reaching the far east due to fuel concerns. Flying over land is a much safer bet if their ships are fuel-hungry, and at least they'd be able to land safely. And it's a much stronger play from Hien because he understands navy isn't Garlemald's strong suit.
There's also that downed Garlean airship in the Sirensong Sea... That one must have been a very long way from home.
