Swift Current Airport (YYN)

Swift Current Airport serves southwestern Saskatchewan's agricultural heartland, located at 2,681 feet MSL with dual runways 12/30 and 4/22 operated by the City of Swift Current. No scheduled commercial service operates - the facility primarily handles general aviation, charter flights, and agricultural aviation serving the prairie region. Charter connections typically route through Regina (YQR) 160 km east or Saskatoon (YXE) 200 km northeast for access to Air Canada and WestJet networks. The airport accommodates private jet charters ranging from single-engine piston aircraft to luxury jets, with landing fees waived for single-engine piston aircraft. Aerodrome operator services available Monday-Friday via 306-778-4803 for fuel coordination and runway condition reports. Prairie weather creates challenging conditions including sudden thunderstorms, severe wind, winter blizzards, and temperature extremes ranging from -40°C to +40°C affecting year-round operations. Agricultural operations peak during spring seeding and fall harvest seasons when aerial application traffic increases significantly. The facility supports emergency medical evacuations, forestry firefighting operations, and corporate flights for energy sector companies operating throughout southwestern Saskatchewan. Ground transportation requires advance coordination - rental cars and taxi services must be pre-arranged from Swift Current town center. Weather information available through automated systems though pilot-controlled lighting and fuel services operate by prior request only. Winter operations face significant snow accumulation and extreme cold requiring specialized equipment and procedures. Cross-border flights to Montana and North Dakota agricultural operations occasionally utilize the facility during busy seasons. Emergency services coordinate through Swift Current RCMP and local volunteer fire department.
