Airo (alkuaan Johansson) kuului ikäluokaltaan 90-lukulaisiin, siihen ikäpolveen, joka jo kouluaikanaan imi itseensä vahvan venäläisvastaisen hengen.
Mikään askeetti Airo ei ollut: hänelle maittoi sekä alkoholi että tupakka, eikä hän vieroksunut myöskään kaunista naisseuraa.

Mannerheim spent most of the Winter War and Continuation War in his Mikkeli headquarters but made many visits to the front.
While he had a number of very able subordinates, foremost among them Lieutenant General Aksel Airo, Mannerheim insisted that all the department heads in the Finnish General Headquarters report directly to him, leaving Chief of General Staff General of Infantry Erik Heinrichs little to do.

 In the shade of Overlord (Normandy invasion 1944)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
Things came to such a pass that Lieutenant General Aksel Airo, then Quartermaster General, played down the wordings of an alarming reconnaissance report of 22 May 1944 before it was shown to Marshal Mannerheim–in order "not to worry" this 77 year old Supreme Commander.
An officer who wanted to deliver the warning to Mannerheim was turned down by Airo who denied him access to the Marshal, "don't worry him, he is old and sick".
Airo had recommended the topographically stronger middle line instead.

Finnish intelligence were well aware of the impending Soviet assault that began on 9th June, just three days after D-Day.
The Finnish intelligence officers were, however, extremely frustrated that their analyses and predictions were largely ignored by the Operational Command led by Lieutenant-General Aksel Airo.

Aksel Airo later commented that they knew the offensive was coming, but they had no way of knowing when and exactly where it would come.
Although I have great respect for Gen. Airo (IMO he was one of the most important and able men in the Finnish military leadership), I think his explanations weak.
There were general staff officers who pointed out the obvious signs of an imminent Soviet offensive, but were brushed away by Airo, who 'didn't want to worry the old Marshal'.
