Is this an Intel-based MacBook Air? Or an Apple Silicon based one (with a M1, M2, or M3 chip)?
If it is an Apple-Silicon-based one, and you have another Mac, you could try putting the MacBook Air into a mode where it acts like an external disk. See the "Use Share Disk to transfer files between two Mac computers" section of Use macOS Recovery on a Mac with Apple silicon - Apple Support . You would not need a high-end, expensive Thunderbolt cable for this – just a USB one (with appropriate connectors or adapters) that can carry data (i.e. not just a charging cable). I don't know if the broken seal on the cryptographically sealed system volume would cause a problem with treating your Mac as an external drive, but possibly in this case, it might not.
If it is an Intel-based one, I do not believe you will have that option in Recovery Mode. There is Target Disk Mode (Transfer files between two Mac computers using target disk mode - Apple Support), but in that case you would need to use a Thunderbolt connection, and I'm not sure it would even work given the state of your Mac's system.
