Sometimes it happens even below the arc breakdown voltage via air… Air molecules are slightly less dense along the surface of a smooth flat surface due to molecular ‘bounce’, so electrons creep along the lower density of a surface.
You’ll have that when your voltage overcomes the resistance of the air

Hence, creepage on a PCB.
