In old Piltover, airships were a thing. You can see them in the Jinx music video amongst other things.

Since the lore overhaul however it seems like while Piltover is still an advanced society for Runeterra it isn't as advanced as it used to be. It's been pared down from a Final Fantasy VII psuedo-modern art-style society, complete with skyscrapers and modern zoos to a more Rennaissance/ Victorian Industrial era city.

Are they still there? Because you can't see them in any Piltover art depicting a skyline. I simply must know...

Some airships have cannons, but not all of them. Depends on the company, I think.

There hasn't been any indication that they exist. So if they do I don't think they are common knowledge or have seen any use yet. In progress day it was mentioned that Piltover was rumored to have a navy decked out with hextech. Perhaps that rumored navy is being tested over the ocean not in the ocean?

I loved the look of old Piltover, the art deco, neon, and zepillins gave it a sweet 1920s-1940s aesthetic. I hope they add it back as a district of the city since it's a big city state.

Re-watch the cinematic they made for the Gun Goddess MissFortune skin. Werent there airships in that?

Well, there surely will be some kind of aircrafts from Piltover. I don't know if it's still in form of these airships, it could be that they are even further advanced. We got Camille, who is a fairly modern cyborg, so designing some vehicles to fly shouldn't be such a big deal for Piltover in the end.
