It should be fine.

Does the air have an HDD or SSD?

Then it will have no ill effects.

No moving parts besides the fan.

I did it all the time and still do with my MBP.  No issues. 

Tell my tale to those who ask. Tell it truly; the ill deeds along with the good, and let me be judged accordingly.
