A scheduled WestJet Airlines flight from Brandon, Man., to Alberta was to go ahead as scheduled Monday, despite the fact the main road into the airport remains flooded after a weekend of torrential rain.
The airline cancelled service in and out of Brandon Municipal Airport when water swamped the road into the terminal north of the city.
But a city spokeswoman says travellers heading to Calgary on the afternoon flight could get access to the airport by taking a detour connecting motorists to the access route into the terminal.
Allison Collins says detour signs would be in place and airport staff would direct traffic.
Brandon is one of several communities in both Manitoba and Saskatchewan where states of emergency are in place to deal with swamped highways and flooded properties.
Regina's fire department tweeted Sunday night that the sewage system was working at full capacity, and that residents should delay showers, baths, and even flushing toilets to prevent additional strain on the system.
