In 1979, the band released the concept album "Life Support," which included a five-minute-and-30-second version of the single "Lost in Love"; Graham Russell wrote the song in 15 minutes, and it caught the attention of Arista Records head Clive Davis, who promptly offered the band a recording contract. In January 1980, a remixed "Lost in Love" was released internationally as a single by Arista Records, and the album of the same name followed in March; produced jointly by Robie Porter, Rick Chertoff, and Charles Fisher, it included the singles "Lost in Love," "Every Woman in the World," and "All Out of Love." "All Out of Love" entered the Billboard Hot 100 on June 14, 1980, and peaked at No. 2. According to the members' recollections on the band's official website, the band's first formal performance in the United States took place at Perkins Palace in Pasadena, California, on October 1, 1980. In 1981, the band released its sixth studio album, "The One That You Love," produced by Harry Maslin; the title single was released in April and reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album "Now and Forever" followed in 1982. In August 1983, the band released its first greatest-hits album, "Greatest Hits," which included the new single "Making Love Out of Nothing at All," released in July and written by Jim Steinman; it also released the live album "Air Supply in Hawaii" that year.

"I Can Wait Forever," co-written by Graham Russell, David Foster, and Jay Graydon, was used in a scene in the film "Ghostbusters," released in June 1984, and was included on the film's soundtrack album released that same month. In February 1985, the band released the self-titled album "Air Supply," which included its cover of Rob Hegel's 1982 single "Just as I Am"; the cover was released in May 1985. The album "Hearts in Motion" followed in 1986. In 1987, the duo recorded a Christmas album featuring the holiday single "The Eyes of a Child," after which the band went on hiatus.

The band released the album "News From Nowhere" in 1995.

Two shows had been planned: the first took place on July 7, and Hurricane Dennis struck Cuba the following day; the concert was held amid strong winds, and both the English Wikipedia and the band's official website give the audience figure as 175,000. To promote the acoustic album "The Singer and the Song," the band traveled to India for the first time in May 2006. It subsequently released the live albums "The One That You Love" (2006), "It Was 30 Years Ago Today (1975 - 2005)" (2007), and "Live" (2008), as well as the album "Free Love" (2009); the studio album "Mumbo Jumbo" was released in May 2010, and the live album "Live in Canada" also appeared that year.
