Yes, Air can conduct electricity. There are a lot of conditions to it. An classical example would be lightening. Where the Current, or technically, the electrons flow between the clouds to the Ground. Every elements to an extent conduct electricity, what is more important is the amount of resistance they offer to conduct electricity. But when the Voltage or the pressure for the current to flow, the resistance does break down and allows the current to flow. Search for the term called Break down voltage. Its better to read a nice article rather to look for full explaination here..

∙ 11y agoIn trace amounts, yes. Not enough to be noticeable usually. However, the fun part is experimenting with static electricity; you know, when you rub a balloon on your head and then pull the balloon away and your hair sticks up? Or when your clothes mysteriously cling to your body and won't stop?
