Perhaps with a wired USB keyboard you may gain access
to Contents of the MacBook Air storage drive, to archive?
And maybe use 'backup user account' data. To restore
content, to an external drive; then another Computer?
The top case and built in keyboard are not likely saved.
And the rest of these newer portables have integrated
circuitry; with CPU, storage and memory, All together.
Micro-circuits that work OK, & fail with excess moisture.
To have an Apple Authorized Service provider or an
official Apple Store staff (or genius?) give you their
opinion. Hopefully you've used Time Machine and
had dedicated backups made to external USB HDD.

As most laptops eventually die due to the long-term effects of acidic liquid spills, I recommend putting your homeowners'/renters' insurance carrier on notice now of a potential total loss. Depending on your deductible, that may be the only financial relief you have.
