I see that the MacBook Air has no ethernet port. I would:
- Boot your USB in another machine.
- Configure Persistence to save the APT packages
https://tails.boum.org/doc/first_steps/persistence/configure/
- Install broadcom-sta-dkms to have the wireless driver
- Boot again from the MacbookAir and install again (You will not need
Internet for this, as the package should have been saved in the
Persistent Volume)
This package conflicts with other drivers, but we are working on giving
better support for this wireless cards, see:
https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/7798
If this solution works for you, you can configure Tails to install it
at boot everytime, see:

I hope this helps!
