Friction. Since "air" is not a vacuum, it takes energy to move through it in the same way it takes energy to move through water. (though this is a more drastic example.) If there is no active energy source to keep an object pushing past the particles in the air (like a propeller or rocket) it will slow down as it loses momentum.
