No. Airplanes cannot fly into space. They need air to hold them up. That's the purpose of the wings on both sides. They also need oxygen to burn their fuel. The airplane can't go anyplace where the air isn't thick enough to support the wings or where it lacks enough oxygen for the fuel. In space, there's no air at all.

Can an airplane go to space?

No. Airplanes need air to fly. The wing shape when passing through the air, creates more pressure on the bottom of the wing than on the top creating lift. In space there is no air and so airplanes will not work.
