Alatreon keeps its ability to fly regardless of whether he has his horns or not. He still has his wings and those are what enable flight, not his horns. The thing is, rather, that breaking the horns, for unknown reasons, changes its behavioural pattern in such a manner that he stays airborne for only a moment most of the time. It has still happened to me though that even with both horns broken he went into flight mode and spammed attacks for several minutes in a row. Breaking horns does not disable Alatreon to fly, it just changes its behavioural pattern slightly.
