Just add "Requires: adobe-air1" or whatever that package is called
in your rpm.

It is the responsibility of a dependency resolver like yum to pull in
that package.  Rpm itself will refuse to install it (unless you
override that with an option) without adobe-air1 also being installed
(before or in the same transaction).

Actively installing other packages yourself is just "not done" and you
should not want to do that! ;-)
