Meanings of entry into service in English

The planemaker is targeting a maiden flight this year and entry into service the next.

On Boeing's BA.N 787 programme, engine failure during ground testing led to further delays for its entry into service.

The flight marks the end of the three days of events signaling the beginning of the Dreamliner's entry into service.

The entry into service for Bombardier's 130-seat CS300 is still seen at the end of 2014.

Bombardier, whose market cap has cratered amid its troubles, has already delayed the entry into service on its new Global business jet.

This relatively new aircraft type has recorded two fatal crashes since its entry into service, including that of Ethiopian Airlines flight 302 last Sunday.

If the CS100 jet flies in June 2013, as planned, with entry into service by mid-2014, that will be record time.

Boeing earlier brought forward the plane's entry into service by six months to the third quarter of 2017, almost two years after the A320neo.
