Air support could be limited. If the Covenant control the skies, it's understandable to not have much air support, but it is not unheard of to make exceptions and prioritization for units based on the importance of their mission. If there is any degree of air power available, - and I assume there is considering you are being dropped in pods - it'd be special units like yours would be getting air support.

-That, and Covvie-ships kinda suck in atmosphere.

And a Falcon is a ton faster than a mongoose.
