In fact, they have balloons. If you remember, Djel Sanes confessed that he murdered a couple that attempted to travel outside the Walls in a hot air balloon. That was precisely the problem: the government was always secretly sabotaging the attempts of people to leave the Walls and learn of the outside world and the truth about the Titans; but now that the old government has been taken down then there is no reason, and that's indeed a possibility that has not been explored and a potential plot hole. Congratulations, you have just ruined the Return to Shiganshina arc. xD
