This is the phone call Peter is talking about over here.
(And it seems Babette is a bit surprised to hear that Peter is traveling around with Ariane Eldar.)

And yes, the Luftschiffbau Zeppelin GmbH, the famous airship company that built e.g. the LZ 129 Hindenburg (that's the one everyone has heard of, for... certain reasons), does indeed still exist.
Like Babette says here though, the airships they build today are semi-rigid, while "actual" zeppelins are generally defined as being rigid airships.

Also, judging from that poster, it seems somebody amongst Babette's team is fan of the band Poobah...

Ha, I wonder if that fan in Babette's team is Keisha?

Sure, that could well be!

I saw her talk to Mike Fortino, so that's my guess.

There might be a few more Zeppelin experts in Eastern Europe

Soon we'll learn a bit about the founder of Zeppelinwerk, Ferdinand Weisshaupt, and... Alexi would probably say: "Weisshaupt is also bad man."

So much emphasis on lighter-than-air!

You know what, maybe you will see some MARSEC folks at that trade show.

MARSEC showing up at the trade show is what Babette expects, anyway.
And next page, she'll have a few choice words to say about that... ;-)
