It's not only a clear indication of growing closer, but was also maybe a surprise that it came from Airi who acted the most "hostile"(not the most fitting adjective) towards Shingo at the start. So this rather simple detail of leaving out the suffix happened additionally in a quite short time span, I guess. In most fiction you have seldomly this step-by-step change and in case of the overfriendly type of girl they offer first-name-basis, +/- suffix, from the beginning without the lover-like indication to it (at first). It depends on what kind of overall mood the anime/manga/Visual Novel or the character itself wants to set.
It would certainly be interesting to see their reaction, if the two reached first-name-basis .
