This guide shows how to increase the hard drive size of the 2013-2017 MacBook Air 13" (A1466), by adding an M2 SSD.

You'll need:

NVME M.2 SSD - I used samsung 970 EVO Plus 250 GB NVME M.2

Alternatively you may use OWC SSD, which does not require adapter - see https://www.owcdigital.com/products/aura....
