Airbus Helicopters H135 vs Airbus Helicopters H145 vs Airbus Helicopters H155 vs Airbus Helicopters H175 vs Airbus Helicopters H215 vs Airbus Helicopters H225

Airbus Helicopters’ H135 is a light twin in the short‑to‑medium range class, typically carrying about 5–7 passengers (depending on interior fit and mission equipment). The H145 is also a light twin but larger and more capable, generally used for short‑to‑medium range missions with roughly 6–9 passengers. The H155 sits in the intermediate/medium twin category, aimed at longer legs than the light twins and commonly configured for about 8–13 passengers. The H175 is a super‑medium twin designed for longer range and higher payload, often carrying around 12–18 passengers in typical offshore or transport layouts. The H215 (AS332 L1 derivative) is a heavy twin with long‑range capability and higher lift, usually accommodating about 19–23 passengers. The H225 (EC225/AS332 L2e family) is a heavy twin at the top end of this set, optimized for long range and demanding missions, with typical seating around 19–24 passengers depending on configuration and regulatory limits.
