Normally, air is a good electrical insulator, so charges can't flow through it (that is, electricity can't conduct through air). However, at a certain point enough energy builds up to go through air, and the result is the spark that jumps between the wires.
More information:
Atmospheric electricity is always present, and during fine weather away from thunderstorms, the air above the surface of Earth is positively charged, while the Earth's surface charge is negative.
