If it took light 60 seconds to travel 1 meter, how many times would time be slower than normal?

The speed of dark in reverse!

If the light slows because of relativistic processes then time is slowed by a factor of 17987547221. About 571 years to 1 second.
Light slows for others reasons: Passing through water it slows by a factor of 1.3 compared to a vacuum.

If you tell us what the normal 'air' speed is, that would help. (preferably in m/s)
I am sure you could get an answer easily if you google it.

Speed of light in Air and in vacuum are considered to be the same 3*(10^8) m/s = c

no complicated answer here. I got the relative time would be the same 60 s, but I expect to be wrong unless proven otherwise.
