yes, it is true air is insulator but in a certain conditions air make conductor of electricity, air conduct electricity during lightning..

The current will not flow in the circuit if there is a void between two wires.
- Electrons must flow continually in a conducting substance for electricity to flow. The current-carrying circuit should be closed.
- If there is a gap or void in the circuit between the two wires, there is air in the gap, and the circuit is not closed.
- Air, which does not conduct electricity, breaks the circuit.
- Air is a poor conductor of charged species since it is mostly made up of inert gases.
- Air is a poor conductor of electricity for this reason.
