You'll want to make sure you have the required flight credits as well as the four starter parts in your inventory, and then click on the "Outfit and register an airship" option. That should get you started I think. Flight credits, if you don't already have them, are purchased from the Resident Caretaker NPC in the housing zones.

Just to add to this, you do it at the Voyage Control Panel in the workshop.

Your first airship requires only 1 Flight Credit, second requires 3, third 5 and 4th 7. Adding submersibles uses Dive Credits instead of Flight Credits (in the same numbers). You will need to visit certain Sectors to unlock the ability to register the additional vessels.

While you can have 4 of each registered, you can only have 4 out of the 8 on voyages at the same time.

At the same time you purchase the credits, you should buy some Ceruleum tanks (though these are also sold by the Mammet in the workshop).
