Airbus Helicopters H125 vs Airbus Helicopters H130 vs Airbus Helicopters H135 vs Airbus Helicopters H145 vs Airbus Helicopters H175 vs Bell 429 Globalranger vs Bell 525 Relentless vs Leonardo Aw139 vs Leonardo Aw189

The Airbus H125 and H130 and the Bell 429 are light single/twin utility helicopters: the H125 is a light single-engine workhorse with moderate range and typically about 5–6 passengers; the quieter, more comfort-oriented H130 is also single-engine with similar-to-slightly better practical touring range and typically 6–7 passengers; the Bell 429 is a light twin with comparable range and usually 6–7 passengers, often favored for IFR-capable missions. The Airbus H135 and H145 sit in the light twin category with generally similar ranges to the Bell 429; the H135 typically carries about 5–6 passengers, while the larger-cabin H145 commonly carries about 7–9 depending on configuration. Stepping up, the Leonardo AW139 and Airbus H175 are medium twins with longer range and higher payload, commonly configured around 12–16 passengers. The Leonardo AW189 is a super-medium with longer range again and typically about 16–19 passengers. The Bell 525 is also super-medium, targeting longer-range missions with typical seating around 16 and higher-speed, higher-end offshore/transport roles.
