[[File:Air Madagascar 005.jpg|600px]]
The airline was established in 1962 under the name "Madair", which shortly after was changed to "Air Madagascar". The founder of the airline were the state of Madagascar and Air France. Following a political crisis starting in the year 2000, the airline experienced a downturn in business and was finally restructured under the lead of Lufthansa Consulting GmbH. A complete rebranding in 2004 included a new corporate design and logo. The logo resembles the [[RavenalaRavinala]] palm tree, which is endemic to Madagascar and also the heraldic tree of Madagascar.
