Yes. Air that travels a longer distance over the more curved top surface of a plane's wing is at a lower pressure than air at the bottom. (Bernoulli's principle states that higher-speed air is at lower pressure.) Air flows from high to low pressure, and therefore the air on the underside of the wing pushes the wing upward toward the lower-pressure air above it, and the rest of the plane along with it.
