No.


Apple Pencil 2 uses an entirely different pairing/charging interface to that of the Apple Pencil 1. The two different pencils require the matching interface on the compatible iPad.


As the interface hardware is entirely different, no, Pencil 2 will never be usable with currents models of iPad Air.
