Hello Peintre48!
When you purchased your iPad Air, you likely selected the Wi-Fi + Cellular model. This means that your iPad can connect to a cellular network while outside the range of Wifi, just like an iPhone. A SIM card is simply the authorization to let your iPad know which network to connect to (like T-Mobile, Sprint, AT&T, etc).
You should consider subscribing to a cell service provider if you plan to do activities on your iPad while on the road or away from home that require Internet.
Cheers!
