If the ball is thrown to A2 from A1 who is in the frontcourt, and A2 catches it in the air and returns/saves the ball without landing in the backcourt you have no violation.
However, if the ball is thrown to A2 from A1 who is in the front court, and A2 catches the ball in the air and lands in the backcourt you have a violation. A2 gains player and team control in the air after having left the floor from Team A’s frontcourt, therefore having frontcourt status. As soon as A2 lands in the backcourt, they have committed a back-court violation.
A2 retains the status of where he last left the court.
