Yes, but they'll still be required to plan for enough fuel for x (2, 3? I forget which) missed approaches at ADL, 30+ mins of holding fuel and then fuel to actually fly to an alternate from overhead the destination airport. That covers things like another aircraft being disabled on the runway, etc. The enroute alternates are factored in to the route planning but they still have to plan for last minute events at the destination.
