I think this is different. The ally is available, the players decided not to "use" him. They could carry the ally if they wanted to.
Same if a bunch of mages PC spend a few sessions in the astral plane. Their mundane allies won't be with them, but if they succeeded on their availability roll, they can still work for the PC, just not with them.
Of course, if the game was expected from the beginning to happen mostly in the elemental plane of air, and the PCs all got flying powers, having non-fliers high-availability allies is a GM failure imho.
