The Question: We know that Spider-Man joins the movie's climactic airport battle as part of Team Iron Man, but how exactly does he end up there?

The Likely Answer: It's pretty clear that Tony Stark has a sure hand in helping Peter Parker realise his full potential, and considering that Marisa Tomei was recently confirmed to appear in the movie as Aunt May, we can assume that Stark and Parker have some form of regular interaction before Spidey shows up in the battle.

Perhaps Stark catches Peter trying to break into his lab, or maybe Stark awards him a scholarship to become his apprentice or something, and Tony soon realises that Peter is no regular kid.

Considering that the MCU is dispensing with a full origin story, he will probably already be Spider-Man in a crude suit before Tony spruces it up a bit. There are dozens of plausible solutions, because, honestly, this one doesn't need to try too hard. Extra points if there's a scene where Stark hits on Aunt May.
