When Billy Batson is gifted the powers of Shazam, the Wizard claims




Yes. I give you the power. And with it all my strength. Solomon's wisdom. The power of Hercules. Atlas toughness. The power of Zeus. The courage of Achilles. And Mercury's speed.




None of these mythical characters fly, but Shazam can. What gives him the power of flight? Was that part of the Wizard's original powers? Or why wasn't a flying mythical entity referred to in this line of dialogue?

          Hermes/Mercury is well known for his winged shoes, also known as Talaria



          According to wikipedia(citation needed), they flew the god as swift as any bird.

          So I would say that even if it not explicitely stated, Flying falls under Mercury Powers.

            Shazam's wikipedia page also says that his flying ability is based on Mercury: "By channeling Mercury's speed, Captain Marvel/Shazam can move at superhuman speeds and fly, the former comparable to The Flash."
