"She has flying grimm anyway. Some of which are dragons. No where is safe."

People keep saying that, but everyone who says that has been ignoring what the characters have been saying since episode 2.

Winter said, in A New Approach: "By launching the tower high into the atmosphere, our scientists believe we can create a sort of… satellite out of reach of the Grimm"

Ironwood now plans to raise the City of Atlas that high, relying on the climate control systems to keep the people and the crops alive up there. As he said in Gravity:

"If we harness the power of the staff, and raise ourselves high into the atmosphere, the city’s artificial climate will keep citizens and food supplies unharmed. Always out of reach of whatever Salem may try to send our way."

They are fully aware that flying Grimm exist. They all know about Nevermores, they saw the dragon at Beacon, and Mantle was attacked by a flock of Teryxes. What they're saying is that they will launch the tower/city so high into the atmosphere that even the flying Grimm won't be able to get to it.
