Aang used energybending to take away Ozai's firebending ability. I don't see why he couldn't do the reverse too, and use energybending to _give_ airbending ability to other people--perhaps even a lot of people! It would be raw talent only of course, and would require training, but Aang could easily provide that. And there may be many folks willing to volunteer for the dangerous energybending procedure. Teo for instance. The war with the Fire Nation, as well as the oppression of the Dai Li, has no doubt produced a lot of refugees and others disenchanted with Fire and Earth civilizations, who might be eager to learn Air Nomad philosophy from Aang, and live as monks. Aang has a long life ahead of him, I bet he'll be able to revive the entire Air Nomad culture before he dies. And I also bet there is something about airbending ability that guarantees that it is passed on to children.
