***could it be equipment that has actually been delivered by air freight ? Air cargo delivered ?

Take a look at the site mentioned below by DPolice... here is a chunk of it :Le fret aérien avionné totalise plus de 77 000 tonnes (+11%), dont 21 000 tonnes de fret express Le fret aérien camionné totalise presque 47 000 tonnes (+10%). Au total, l\'activité fret atteint plus de 124 000 tonnes (+11%). Grâce à la forte activité des usines Peugeot de la région, l\'activité charter fret est en forte augmentation (+48%) ; cette activité ne représente cependant que 4% du volume total de fret avionné. La répartition des différents types de fret reste donc stable par rapport à 1999.

Aircraft adaptable

Explanation:
This question was posed yesterday and an answer accepted, did you change your mind? As a pilot, I still stand behind the translation I offered yesterday, I think it may be more appropriate than airworthy, also good, but which generally refers principally to the aircraft as a whole but may be what you are looking for... You could translate as "aircraft adaptable equipment" or "aircraft adaptable parts". Good luck!

One more piece of info. New aircraft parts are approved by the PMA following FAA regulations. In fact, my aircraft mechanic tells me you can see FAA-PMA approved on part boxes. A part can be said \"serviceable\" or \"non-serviceable\", based on its condition. The word \"airworthy\" is not used for parts, but you could say \"aircraft serviceable equipment\" in your translation.

disagree Meri Buettner: as in seaworthy/airworthy ? "en état de navigabilité/navigable ? I really don't think the context is right...unless it is the plane itself (équipments would have to be the plane)
8 mins
  -> Given the larger context ("avionnable") and the question associated with this one ("equipment actually used in aircraft?") that would be precisely the meaning: parts of the plane.

agree cheungmo: "airworthy" meaning "made/adapted for use in an aircraft". Words, even technical ones, can have more than one usage/meaning depending on context.
32 mins
  -> You bet! I found loads of "air-worthy" relating to broadcasting, so added the "aircraft" and "parts" delimiters, for which I got over 190 (relevant...) hits.
