scheduled service

Regular transport operation

Scheduled service refers to transportation—typically flights, buses, or ferries—that operates on fixed routes at predetermined times, as opposed to charter service arranged for specific groups.

Airlines distinguish between scheduled service and charter flights: The airline added scheduled service between Denver and Austin.

The term also applies to routine maintenance performed at set intervals: The car is due for its 30,000-mile scheduled service.
