I'm not sure on what you mean by the "new" Macbook Airs. What year is the machine from? I don't remember any newer models released.
Before the battery in my Macbook Air 11 inch 2014 model went bad, there was enough battery for 10 hours. Now the battery needs to be changed, and it have around 4 or 5 hours of battery usage.

Battery life is going to depend on what you're doing. If you aren't running power intensive applications, you can expect 8 or 9 hours of use from a new battery. That time might go up if you're simply listening to audio or writing documents. If you use applications like Skype and FaceTime, you will notice a dramatic battery drain.

It's exactly as Chris said. It depends on what I'm doing. I generally get 8 or 9 hours out of my battery, but that drops significantly if I'm using Facetime.
