Yes, you could consider air a gas, but air on earth is more commonly thought of as a collection of gases: oxygen, nitrogen, etc.

But on the other side, "gas is air" is not correct. When we talk about "air", we talk about the specific combination of gases that we breathe.

In other words, you would not say that a jar full of methane is air, but you could say that a jar full of air is a gas.
