Also they would have cut some of the hints/developments towards Miu and Sana if the anime intended to do Airi's story from the start, so pretty much we could count on 5,5 or 6 episodes and that should be sufficient

Spoiler for Continuing:

Miu's is more fluffy, whereas Airi's is more development heavy. So while Miu's was longer (which, I'd question wasn't just a matter of fluff padding in that route's case), fitting the latter into a visual adaptation would probably be more of a challenge because cutting fluff vs. cutting/properly portraying development tends to be harder on the latter. Even for Miu they skipped through a lot to get it to fit into four/five episodes. But yes, I agree that in Airi's route you would not be able to focus much (if at all) on Sana/Miu to have the required time.
