Just because AIR is new, doesn't make in necessary for every industry to adopt it. To some industries AIR might be the edge or need to go beyond site browsing, where as other sites gain nothing. Typically the first question to ask yourself if your wondering would air help you is "Can you benefit from offline content?". AIR has other features too but your not going to build an AIR app just to not use a browser, as it will frustrate your users. AIR does have its own internal database that you can download data to in a secure fashion, so if your looking for an offline application for your users, generally AIR is a great adoption.

The key features of AIR are an internal database engine, browser-less internet, clipboard integration, adding applications as programs, and online/offline states. There are all features the internet doesn't have today within a browser-based infrastructure. With these tools now available it’s possible to applications that will persist with your users outside of the web browsing experience. Flash Live Media can help you determine whether AIR can be a cost effective yet innovative addition to your web applications.
