Many electrons do not flow through air unless the air is ionized.
"Displacement current" is not understood very well and is a sort
of virtual current. The actual electron flow is taking place in
the rest of the circuit. When a lot of electrons flow between the
plates of a capacitor, for instance, the voltage capability of the
capacitor has been exceeded and it is in failure mode.
