I don't remember where I heard it, but Im pretty sure that all air nomad children are benders. In that case the children aang and katara had would be airbenders, which is shown in the new show. Although they only show one child, I think it is likely that they had more and if they are all airbenders, then they would be able to easily repopulate the air nomads.

If this is true, which I firmly believe it is, than Aang would have no need to energybend new airbenders, which I don't believe is possible. This would also allow the continuation of the airbenders ethnic identity, because even though they are mixed with the other nations they are all airbenders.

In this case it would present the unique situation that every air nomad avatar would be related to each other, making them not only spiritually related, but genealogically related.
