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.
If 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.
With their wings. You may be confused by the fact that most ants you see don't have wings, but all ants are members of the order Hymenoptera, which means "membrane wings." 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.
On some species they do swarm but not all species have swarmers.
Yes, kind of.... but not proper queens of the nest. When they find a suitable nest they will land, bite off their wings and if they are accepted, they will be a PROPER queen of the nest.

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.
Flying black ants?
Flying black ants are typically reproductive males and females that leave the nest in swarms to mate and establish new colonies. Once they mate, the males usually die, while the fertilized females (queens) find a suitable location to start a new colony. It's a natural behavior during the ant's life cycle.
