No. The average ant can't. Worker ants are wingless.
However, both male ants and the virgin queen ants have wings that allow hem to fly for the mating. Once fertilized, the queen ant bites off her wings and starts the colony. The male ants, having done their duty, die.
So the answer becomes - most can't, but some can and do in the early summer.

∙ 7y agoIf you are asking about a queen honey bee, she can, but rarely does. She flies on a mating flight not long after she has hatched and then again when the colony decides to swarm. Apart from that, she remains in the hive or within the colony.

It's just that the sterile worker females are wingless; the queens and drones (which you normally don't see) do have wings, just like the related bees and wasps.

Flying ants come out when the new queen ant and the male reproducing ants leave the colony to form new colonies. The new queen removes her wings when she begins to reproduce. The males die shortly after because the queen removes their wings. They are no longer of any use after mating because they do not work.

Why does a queen ant have wings and the drones and workers dont?
The queen honey bee usually leaves its nest only twice in its life. The first occasion is when she is about five days old and leaves the colony on a mating flight. The only other time that she might leave the colony is if they decide to swarm and she will fly with about half of the bees in the colony and go and look for a new home. She needs wings to do both of these things.
