Use this guide to upgrade or replace the solid-state drive in a MacBook Air 11” Early 2015. This MacBook Air uses a proprietary storage drive connector, and is therefore not compatible with common M.2 drives without the use of an adapter.
Before you perform this repair, if at all possible, back up your existing SSD. Then, either familiarize yourself with internet recovery or create a bootable external drive so you’ll be ready to install macOS onto your new drive and migrate your data to the new SSD.
Finally, we strongly recommend installing macOS 10.13 High Sierra (or a later macOS) before replacing the original SSD from your MacBook Air. Most new SSDs require updated storage drivers not found in versions of macOS prior to High Sierra.

It is possible to upgrade the 128GB ssd to a larger one for this Macbook Air model?
Absolutely. Just click the parts link at the top of the page, and choose your size.
I bought the below model SSD by mistake for my Apple 11" Early 2015 model. Could you please suggest whether it will be compatible.
"Samsung 256GB Flash SSD SSUBX/655-1858K w/ Heatsink for Mac Pro 6,1 JPV256R/0A1"
Hi, I am desperately trying to understand how to repair my macbook air 11 inch early 2015. The internal Hd broke. I would like to repair my macbook mounting the SSD suggested by Ifixit but unfortunately the last upgrade of the system was El capitan so, if I understood correctly, I don’t have the right EFI. What can I do? Is there a procedure to install the EFI the SSD owc aura needs? Or should I buy another SSD? Could you suggest me a solution? Thank you in advance for your time
You should be able to reinstall or restore everything via macOS recovery. Your Mac should support that:

Just boot up and either reinstall from scratch or follow the instructions to restore from a backup (or the old HD if it still turns on)
