I've felt we needed this Ability for a long while now. The metagame seems to me to have been polarized toward entry hazards for Generations. We need more widely distributed methods of dealing with them.

Definitely..
also, I'd nerf hazards themselves.. by having them only activate a certain number of times and then disappearing for example.

I love this design, especially the twirly tail! I also like the concept of having power over wind itself, rather than just flying around! I don't see that very much.

Yeah, I wish we would see more PKMN related to the elemental windy aspect of the Flying type.
I also wish the Flying type would be treated less like an after-thought slapped onto anything that happens to have wings (and even then, sometimes replaced by "Levitate" when a PKMN already has 2 more important types), and an actual element more often.

Nice design, but I wonder, what makes it fly?

It embodies the elemental windy aspect of the Flying type, more than the "ability to fly".

It's similar to Jumpluff, in that it is very lightweight and takes advantage of air currents.
It's similar to Dodrio, by being very agile/fast, and like Mantine leaping impressive distances and gliding around a bit before coming back down.
It's simialr to how Gyarados is Flying, due to causing powerful storms.

I think the ability to fly (if not the Flying Type) is centrally important to Gyarados' concept. It's pretty directly inspired by the Dragon Gate folk tale that transforms the carp which swim through, and against the waterfall into flying dragons. I'm not usually sold on Gyarados being retyped to Wind as a result. Using the most literal interpretation of the Type names, it would be a Flying/Dragon, though I suppose there is no reason to interpret it literally, and beyond that, Water/Wind may better differentiate it so I think I just convinced myself after all XD

I mean, what on his body gives him these attributes to glide, or jump so strognly?

the magical power to manipulate airflow

Lol I mean, maybe a thicker, or rather wider cloak for the gliding/flight, longer ears for flight control, somehow shaped legs to work like springs (kangaroo) to make the higher jumps... tail is fine.
