I imagine the Hindenburg disaster never happened there, so they weren't ever dissuaded from using them.

But airliners are much more efficient and above all more reliable, than zeppelins

That.

And they never used hydrogen, but always only used noncombustible helium in their zeppilins ( less lift but helium doesnt combust).

And zeppilins use less fuel than heavier than air aircraft, and some of the them in this paralell universe are solar powered.

And if a terrorist tried to hijack zeppilins and try to fly them into skyscrapers the zeps would just bounce off like nerf balls.
