In the 1990's there were several proposals to use solar-powered rigid airships (dirigibles) or blimps to carry ozone-making equipment to the upper atmosphere. The ozone-making equipment is essentially over-sized spark plugs (or ion engines), so there are no technological barriers. A surprisingly small amount of ozone would be required to repair the ozone layer -- so the solution could be economically feasible.

"so the solution could be economically feasible."

Just not 'Politically' viable.
