In this paper we revisit the levitation phenomenon using the generalized Boltzmann kinetics theory which can represent the non-local physics of this levitation phenomenon. This approach can identify the conditions when the levitation can take place under the influence of correlated electromagnetic and gravitational fields. The sufficient mathematical conditions of levitation are obtained. It means that the regime of levitation could be realized from the position of the non-local hydrodynamics.
