Wall-E Axiom Spaceships
At the start of Wall-E, there was an enormous amount of billboards with "BnL". At the metro, an exit had one with the ad where Shelby shows us how many spaceliners launched. During all the movie we saw only one actual ship, which at the end landed to the Earth.
So, the question is:
1) Where are other ships and what happened to them?
2) Why does only one ship provide operations with EVE on Earth?
Best Answer
1) Where are other ships and what happened to them?
The movie does not provide us with the answer as to what happens to the other ships. At this point we can do nothing but to speculate all those whats and whys.
Of course you don't clutter all those giant ships at one place. They are spread across the universe (well within permissible distance). Those were not shown probably as the story can run independently without any necessary inputs from them.
2) Why does only one ship provide operations with EVE on Earth?
We see Buy-N-Large has the monopoly of overseeing the welfare of people and the society. They have the power of governance in the spacecraft and we can assume that they had are in control of other spaceships too. So, when one unit of them is sending EVE to check the status of earth, the other units refrain themselves from wasting their work power.
Also there is another possibility. Others may have sent other EVEs in other parts of the earth, but they didn't end up with the interesting events as EVE does, so we don't need them in the story.

What is the spaceship in WALL-E called?
The overall ninth feature film produced by the studio, WALL-E follows a solitary robot on a future, uninhabitable, deserted Earth in 2805, left to clean up garbage. However, he is visited by a probe sent by the starship Axiom, a robot called EVE, with whom he falls in love and pursues across the galaxy.Why is the ship in WALL-E called the Axiom?
The literal meaning of the word "Axiom" is something that is taken for granted, reflecting on the population of the Axiom's over-indulgent lifestyle. IMDb provides a similar take: The name of the ship that the humans are living on is "Axiom." In logic and math, an axiom is something unquestionable or taken for granted.What does the Axiom represent in WALL-E?
The Axiom is presented as a place of heaven in sky above. In the film the setting is used to warn us that we could destroy our Earth if we do not look after it.Was the Axiom the only ship?
It's certainly possible that only the Axiom (the largest ship with the most resources) has survived. Equally likely the reason we don't see any other ships is because their Autopilots prevented their return to Earth.Go On a Tour of the Axiom from WALL•E! | Pixar
