Is it possible to get poor flow in a pipe to a hot water tap caused by an airlock or would the airlock result in no water coming out of the tap at all?

yes it is

But tell us why you think you have an air lock they dont usually happen for no reason
 
I thought that maybe airlocks build up over time. I hear about plumbers using hoses to clear airlocks in hot water pipes and flush them out through the vent pipe. Presumably these airlocks weren't stopping the water flow as soon as the pipes were installed, they appeared much later.
 
Need to know more about your system.........do you have hot water cylinder and cold water storage etc...
