Ensure that your iPad Air and your iPhone are signed on to the same Apple ID.

Ensure that your iPad Air is signed in to Messages by opening Settings ➔ Messages ➔ iMessages: Ensure that this is set to ON.

Ensure that your iPhone has Text Message Forwarding set up by opening Settings ➔ Messages ➔ Text Message Forwarding : Ensure that this is set to ON next to the name of your iPad Air.
