It has no effect in maps that doesn't support LBAS. However, there was the speculation that Air Defense escorts the fleet through the map. This is then changed into escorting the air squadron that performs the air support.

Case in point: I had reached E5 Boss and set 1 airbase to Sortie, all bombers, and another to Air Defense, with 3 fighters and 1 interceptor (which almost NEVER ranks up for some reason) I didn't get any red or orange texts that indicates AD/AI, unless if I forgot to resupply my planes. (they DIDN"T warn you about it!)
