But I need date in (YYYY-MM-DD) or (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm) this format.

export class FlightSchedule {

    constructor(
        public destination: string,

        public date: string,

    ) {}

Please help me, I am unable to convert date in YYYY-MM-DD or YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm format.

You need to provide an object containing the formats you wish to use. The object should look something like:

export const MY_FORMATS = {
  parse: {
    dateInput: 'LL',
  },
  display: {
    dateInput: 'YYYY-MM-DD',
    monthYearLabel: 'YYYY',
    dateA11yLabel: 'LL',
    monthYearA11yLabel: 'YYYY',
  },
};

You then need to add that in to your providers array, like so:

  import { MAT_DATE_FORMATS } from '@angular/material';
  import { MomentDateAdapter } from '@angular/material-moment-adapter';

  //...

  providers: [
    {provide: DateAdapter, useClass: MomentDateAdapter, deps: [MAT_DATE_LOCALE]},
    {provide: MAT_DATE_FORMATS, useValue: MY_FORMATS},
  ],
