Levitation is the power to stay suspended in the air without external force applying lift, While flight generally denotes motion.

One may be able fly with levitation, but may not be able to levitate via flight. If they use some source of propulsion (energy, flapping of wings, engines/propellers, etc.) if they were to remain idle a user with flight would fall, where with levitation they would remain airborne.

On another note some forms of flight require a certain amount of motion to maintain altitude, they would be required to be moving above a certain speed else they would either slowly descend (glide) or start falling.

Though a user of levitation may not be able to move with much speed, perhaps only able to move at a rate similar to walking move, be it the wind, pushing off of surfaces, or have a running start before they activating their power.
