iPad Air, iOS 12
You can trade in your old iPad Air, have a look at this Apple page:
As for keep on using it, depending on which apps you use, updating those app will require newer iOS versions, for example banking apps, social media apps, browsers...
The first generation iPad Air (A1474 - a.k.a. iPad Air1) cannot be updated beyond iOS 12.5.7. The iPad Air1 is too old to have any residual trade-in value.
By contrast, the second generation iPad Air (a.k.a. iPad Air2) is capable of update to iPadOS 15.8 - and still receives periodic security updates. The Air2 does not support iPadOS 16/17.
You can establish eligibility and an estimate of trade-in value for your iPad in your country/region here:
You can confirm your model number from iPad settings:
