The tags appended to your post suggest that you have an iPad Air2 with iOS12 installed. If this is the case, then your iPad is capable of update to iPadOS 14.3. If instead you have an iPad Air1, your iPad can only be updated to iOS 12.5.1; in this instance, update to a later version of iPadOS is not possible.


Misidentification of iPad Air and iPad Air2 is not uncommon. You can check your model number and currently installed iOS version here:

Settings > General > About
