Burbank, CA – August 29, 2009 – In a strategic move to better reflect its international presence, established carrier Air Cali officially announced today its rebranding as Adam Air. The transformation, complete with a sophisticated new livery and corporate identity, aims to align the airline's brand with its already extensive global route network.

For years, the airline has successfully operated routes to destinations across North America, South America, and Europe. However, company leadership found that the name "Air Cali," while paying homage to its origins, projected a regional image that no longer matched the reality of its operations.
"This is not about where we are going, but about who we have become," said CEO Humad Adam, speaking from the airline's HQ in Burbank. "We have built a robust international network, yet our name suggested we were simply a West Coast airline. The rebranding to Adam Air is a crucial step to ensure our image accurately reflects our status as a truly global carrier. Our new brand is sophisticated, modern, and ready to stand proudly on the world stage."

The new Adam Air livery, showcased today on a freshly painted Airbus A321, marks a stark departure from the old branding. A clean white fuselage is now adorned with a sweeping, elegant navy-blue curve, conveying a sense of motion and class. The tail features a bold, abstract emblem in navy blue, designed to be a memorable and distinctly international symbol.

Mr. Adam further explained the strategic thinking. "In today's competitive global market, perception is reality. To our passengers in Dublin or London, the name 'Air Cali' created a disconnect. Adam Air is a name that carries a sense of established quality and universal appeal, which is vital as we continue to strengthen our position and compete with the world's premier airlines."

Mr. Adam also joked about some of the more confusing feedback the airline had received regarding its former name. "Beyond the regional perception, we had some... interesting brand confusion in our international destinations. Let's just say we're in the business of air transport, and we found it best to have a name that doesn't get confused with certain other famous Colombian 'exporters' from the 90s. We're clearing the air, in every sense of the word."

The transition to Adam Air will be implemented across the company's fleet and facilities over the coming months. Passengers flying internationally and domestically are assured that the change is focused on branding, with the same commitment to safety, service, and operational excellence remaining the core of the airline's promise.

This 2009 rebrand represents a confident and necessary evolution for the airline. By shedding its regional-sounding name, Adam Air is now poised to not only continue its international service but to do so with a brand identity that truly fits its global ambitions.
