    Air entrained concrete is more durable (especially with regard to freeze-thaw cycles) and more workable.
    Too much air-entrainment can greatly reduce compressive strength as the microscopic air bubbles are replacing sand, cement and stone. Air content can be measured on site. This site offers some discusion also:Air-Entraining
