Hi, Was it in the middle of the download of new updates or the installation? Losing power from the adaptor doesn't usually cause much grief unless your battery is more or less toast and the MBA won't work without the power adaptor. You may need to reset your System Management Controller (SMC) to get everything back on track. To do this:
• Plug your power adaptor into the wall and into your MBA. • wait a couple seconds then press your power button to turn the MBA on. It should start up if there wasn't something firmware-ish being installed when the power was kicked out. If that doesn't do it, you'll need some sighted assistance to determine if the power adaptor is still able to send power to the MBA and/or to determine if you have any batter life. Beyond that, the Apple Store or a certified Apple Tech may be your best choice. Later... • Hold down the left-side shift-control-option and power button at the same time, then release them all simultaneously.
