Airbus Helicopters H125 vs Bell 407gxi vs Leonardo Aw119kx vs Leonardo Sh09

The Airbus Helicopters H125 and Bell 407GXi sit in the same general category: light single‑engine utility helicopters commonly used for tourism, EMS support roles, police, and general lift. Both typically carry a pilot plus around five to six passengers depending on interior and mission fit, and both offer broadly comparable operational range in the “few hundred nautical miles” class, with actual endurance varying significantly with payload, altitude, and fuel configuration. The H125 is often favored where hot‑and‑high performance and external‑load utility work are priorities, while the 407GXi is frequently positioned as a fast, smooth, modernized evolution of the 407 line for multi‑mission use. The Leonardo SH09 is also a light single‑engine helicopter, but it is a newer program still progressing toward broad commercial availability, so final certified specifications and typical cabin layouts can vary by configuration and certification status. Conceptually it targets a similar passenger class to the H125/407GXi (pilot plus roughly six passengers) and a comparable light‑single mission range, aiming to compete in the same utility and passenger-transport niche.
