Airbus Helicopters H125 vs Airbus Helicopters H130 vs Cessna 206 Turbo Stationair vs Cessna Caravan

Airbus Helicopters’ H125 and H130 are single‑engine light helicopters suited to short‑range, point‑to‑point missions where vertical access matters. The H125 is typically positioned as a high‑performance utility helicopter (often favored for hot‑and‑high, external load, and work roles) with seating commonly around five to six passengers plus a pilot and typical ranges on the order of about 330–350 nautical miles depending on configuration. The H130 is a quieter, comfort‑oriented light helicopter aimed at passenger transport and sightseeing, usually accommodating about six to seven passengers plus a pilot, with a broadly similar typical range roughly around 330 nautical miles. The Cessna Turbo Stationair (pressurized, single‑engine turboprop airplane) is a fixed‑wing personal/utility aircraft with longer legs than the helicopters, commonly seating about five to seven people, and typical ranges often around 700–800 nautical miles. The Cessna Caravan is a larger, rugged single‑engine turboprop utility airplane optimized for hauling people or cargo, typically carrying about nine passengers (often up to 14 with high‑density seating), with typical ranges around 900–1,000 nautical miles. Actual figures vary by model, payload, and reserves.
