Would the Flames be allowed to play in Lethbridge or Red Deer with neither of those cities having a major airport?

I know in 2007 for training camp, the Oilers charter had no problem landing at the Grande Prairie airport. I would think that Red Deer and Lethbridge would both have no issues as well accommodating team charters.
