Matte screens use a different filter to remove glare atop the LCD. The matte filter costs a bit more to use over the type of filter used in glossy screens, so they are often used by default now a days to save a few bucks. They're then sold to us as screens with better colour and deeper contrast...

MBA's have a glossy screen, not matte. Matte screens are only an option on higher end MacBook Pros, and they get expensive.
