Swift Current Airport Airport codes|YNN|CYYN is located convert|4|NM|abbr=on|lk=in east of Swift Current, Saskatchewan, Canada. This airport had scheduled service throughout the 1950s and '60s. At the moment (2006), it has no scheduled service, but plans for expansion have recently been accepted. In its current state, the largest aircraft it could accommodate would be a Boeing 737, but it would not be a comfortable fit. It would be possible in an emergency, but not the most common plan.

From 1940 to 1944, the airport served as a training base for pilots who served with the Royal Air Force.
