Yes, air loves sticking to solid surfaces.
Then the next layer of air molecules cannot stick that well and it slides a little over that one (relative movement and friction or viscosity effect happens between those two).
The next layer away from the solid surface resists the movement or disturbance due to inertia and also slides over the layer described above, and so on, until the molecules of air that are very far from the solid surface remain non-disturbed by the relative movement of the solid.
In order for a solid in movement to create a difference of static pressure, it must change the direction of the molecules, which is acceleration, which consumes energy.
It is all Coanda's fault:
