Airbus Helicopters H130 vs Airbus Helicopters H135 vs Airbus Helicopters H145 vs Leonardo Aw109 Grand New vs Leonardo Aw109 Trekker vs Leonardo Aw119kx vs Leonardo Aw169

The Airbus H130 is a light single‑engine helicopter in the “Eco/utility” class, typically used for tourism and private transport; it generally carries about 6–7 passengers and offers a moderate range for short-to-medium legs (roughly a few hundred nautical miles, mission dependent). The Airbus H135 is a light twin, commonly in EMS and corporate roles, usually seating around 5–7 passengers with a similar medium range. The Airbus H145 steps up to a larger light twin category, often configured for 7–9 passengers, with somewhat better useful range and payload flexibility than the H135. Leonardo’s AW109 Grand New is a light twin in the fast executive segment, typically 6–7 passengers, with medium range comparable to other light twins but often optimized for speed. The AW109 Trekker is also a light twin, generally similar passenger capacity, with an emphasis on utility and skids, typically offering solid medium range. The AW119Kx is a light single; it usually carries about 6–7 passengers with medium range and simpler operating costs than twins. The AW169 is a larger intermediate twin category, commonly around 8–10 passengers, delivering longer range and higher payload capability than the light twins.
