Not if you just do the normal fold.
But there may be ways to do some additional disassembly for packing it small enough to fit in a suitcase that complies with the airline rules for regular size checked baggage. That's the case with my Bike Friday - I can fold it to take on a train or bus in a minute or take about 15 minutes to remove the front wheel, handlebars, saddle, and pedals and then fit it in an airline-suitable case.
