I put my keys in my back pocket, and my belt has a plastic buckle. On Sunday I was in the middle of nowhere, and still got the message. Once again, I had to recalibrate, but then am able to fly. Not a big deal, but kind of frustrating.
When I first got my Mavic Pro P, I ran into a similar problem as your Mavic Air. DJI GO-4 App would say Mavic Pro P needed compass calibration. I could calibrate compass, verify it was calibrated, fly drone without problems.
But when I powered drone off and swapped battery, upon power-up, sometimes DJI GO-4 App would say Mavic Pro P again needed compass calibration. Even if takeoff spot was same as before or takeoff spot was reloacted.
After wasting time (and frustration with poor help) with compass calibration messages, I got to where I ignored any further messages for rest of flying for that day. Finally, I got to where I ignored messages even at start of flying day.
When I switched from using iPhone5s and iPad to DJI's CrystalSky Ultra, stopped seeing compass calibration messages from GO-4. If I went back to iPhone5s, compass calibration messages returned.
Two differences were: 1) iPhone5s was running iOS and CrystalSky was running Android and 2) GO-4 App was coded and built to run on respective platform.
You might try running GO-4 on a different SmartDevice (borrow a friends tablet, phone, pad) or trying de-installing and re-installing GO-4.
You may want to open a support ticket, and see about getting your Mavic Air replaced.
