iPad Air, iOS 12
The original “first generation” iPad Air cannot be updated to iPadOS 13.x as it lacks the necessary minimum hardware specification to support the newest version.
Update Support for iPad Air ended in September 2019 - although there have since been a few “point” updates to addresses specific security issues; the final supported version of iOS being iOS 12.4.7. Your description implies that you have already updated to the most recent version of iOS supported by your iPad.
iPad Air2, or the current iPad Air3, do support the most recent version - and can be updated to iPadOS 13.5.1. As these models are upgradable to iPadOS 13.x, whose release precedes the final iOS 12.4.7 release, the final iOS 12.x release will not be found on either Air2 or Air3 models.
As such, you clearly have an iPad Air1 - which cannot be updated further. If Apps that you need require iPadOS 13.x, then you have no alternative other than to replace your iPad with a newer model.
Sorry, this is perhaps not the news that you were hoping to hear, but I hope this information is helpful in informing your options.
IPad Air doesn't support iPadOS 13 or later (the latest suipported version is 12.4.7), because of hardware incompatibility, sorry.
