It was falling down a shaft and tumbling at the same time while fighting the most badass wizard in the world.
Perhaps:
1. It never got into a position to flap its wings?
2. The space was too narrow to fly?
3. Gandalf prevented it somehow?
4. He was too busy fighting to manage it?
Those are my best guesses.

Probably constipated. Balrogs were well known for a low fiber diet.

The ostrich has wings too.

Because Gandalf had ahold of it.
(that's the explanation from the book)

You're reading How come the Balrog didn't fly when it fell off the Bridge of Khazad-d�m since it has wings and instead just kept on free falling?

or maybe its wings weren't capable of flying like the penguin or ostrich. maybe it was simple too heavy to carry its self

All good answers. Frankly, there is no way the damned thing could actually fly in our world. Too big and heavy to lift its own weight. But y'know, Middle Earth and all that magic you could come up with an explanation.
