That depends on what you mean be "AA". The Skyguard tower can only attack airborne enemies, but some other towers (like the Ballista and Frost towers) can hit airborne enemies.

Thanks bc I wanted to know which heroes had towers that can hit air targets bc I don’t want to swap out a hero for another one if I have no towers that can not hit air targets

Most towers will have a blue line extending diagonally upwards from them. That's part of their range and shows how far upwards the tower can attack. You can see this clearly in the Ballista tower, to a lesser extent in the Cannon tower, and you can see that it's not at all present with the Flamethrower tower. Towers whose range is expressed as a bubble rather than an area (the Lightning Aura and Skyguard Towers as examples) can also attack airborne enemies.

Keep in mind though that most towers will prioritize attacking ground enemies, which is part of what makes the Skyguard tower the most reliable (if not necessarily the best) anti-air defense.

Except that without huge range increases you have to put the skyguard on the field where it will repeatedly get pummeled to death by kamakaze enemies.

That's kind of the case for all defenses covering air lanes though...

This is why you buff it's range to the max, air units are fragile it doesn't need anywhere near as much dps as your frontliners. The Skygaurd though makes it easy, at least for me it's the only tower I use on the monk, so all the skill points got dedicated to it until they capped out.

The Skyguard isn't the only dedicated AA tower but it's the best / most used. Generally people with either use Skyguards or some other multipurpose defense to handle air lanes.

I don't think there are any other dedicated AA towers anymore, the female mage's(I forget what she's called, lol) ice tower isn't just air targets anymore(or at least mine was shooting orcs and gobbos the other day), and I don't remember there ever being any more then that.
