Airbus Helicopters H145 vs Airbus Helicopters H160 vs Airbus Helicopters H175 vs Airbus Helicopters H215 vs Bell 525 Relentless vs Leonardo Aw139 vs Leonardo Aw169 vs Leonardo Aw189

The Airbus H145 and Leonardo AW169 sit in the light twin category, typically carrying about 6–9 passengers with ranges commonly around 300–450 nm depending on fit; they suit EMS, utility and short-to-medium corporate missions. Moving up, the Airbus H160 and Leonardo AW139 are medium twins; both usually seat roughly 10–15 passengers and offer medium-range capability (often about 400–550 nm), with the H160 emphasizing newer-generation efficiency and cabin refinement and the AW139 being a widely proven workhorse. The Bell 525 Relentless also targets the medium class but at the upper end, generally configured for about 12–16 passengers with ranges often in the 500+ nm bracket, aiming at offshore and VIP missions. In the super-medium/heavy-leaning segment, the Airbus H175 and Leonardo AW189 are optimized for offshore transport, typically around 16–19 passengers and roughly 500–600 nm range. The Airbus H215 (Super Puma family) is larger and more “heavy” in feel, commonly around 16–19 passengers with similar or slightly longer range depending on payload, prioritizing lift and rugged utility.
