Can you drive an air brake vehicle that is under 26000 lb gross vehicle weight with an ordinary lincense?
So long as the weight rating of the vehicle doesn't exceed 26k, yes, with two exceptions - you would need a Class C (minimum) CDL with hazmat endorsement if the vehicle is transporting a quantity of hazardous materials which requires placards to be displayed, and you would need a Class C (minimum) CDL with passenger endorsement if it is a bus designed to transport more than 15 passengers (including the driver).
What are the different classes of CDL?
Class A and B are about the Gross Vehicle Weight rating (GVWR). Class A is GVWR in excess of 26,001lbs towing a trailer in excess of 10,000lbs. Class B is the same weight towing a trailer less than 10,000lbs. Class C is for transporting more than 16 passengers or Hazardous Materials.

No. Air brakes are not a factor in determining whether or not a CDL is required in any state.

That depends. If it has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of 26,000 lbs. or less, and is not carrying hazardous materials and is not a bus designed to transport more than 15 persons (including the driver), then no - you don't need to upgrade your license. If it has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of 26,000 lbs. or less, and is hauling quanitities of hazardous materials which require placards to be displayed, then you need at least a Class C CDL with Hazardous Materials endorsement. If it has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of 26,000 lbs. or less, and is a bus designed to transport more than 15 persons (including the driver), you need at least a Class C CDL with Passenger endorsement (or the school bus endorsement, if transporting school children). If the vehicle has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating in excess of 26,000 lbs., and does not fall under an exempted category and usage within that exemption, it requires a Class B CDL and endorsements as needed.

Do you need a Cdl to operate a gmc 6500 Series truck with air-brakes?
Air brakes have absolutely NO affect in determining whether or not a vehicle requires a CDL. The need for a CDL is determined by Gross Vehicle Weight Rating/Gross Combined Weight Rating, the presence of hazardous materials, and the number of passengers the vehicle is designed to transport.Depending on year, the GVW of that truck may be anywhere from 21,000 to 26,500 lbs. If the GVW is in excess of 26,000 lbs. and it's registered as such, a CDL is required.If it's a bus designed to transport more than 15 persons (including the driver), a CDL is required, regardless of weight rating, along with a passenger endorsement.If it's a vehicle transporting a quantity of hazardous materials which requires placards to be displayed in accordance with CFR49 regulations, a CDL and hazmat endorsement is required, regardless of weight rating.
