Airbus Helicopters H175 vs Airbus Helicopters H215 vs Leonardo Aw139 vs Leonardo Aw189 vs Sikorsky S 92

The Airbus H175 and Leonardo AW189 sit in the modern “super-medium” class, balancing offshore payload with long legs. Typical ranges are roughly 500–550 nautical miles for the H175 and about 450–500 nautical miles for the AW189, with common passenger layouts around 16–19 seats (often configured near 16–18 for offshore comfort). The Leonardo AW139 is a smaller medium helicopter with shorter range, typically around 400–550 nautical miles depending on fit, and usually carries about 12–15 passengers in commercial service. The Airbus H215 is a heavy-class helicopter derived from the Super Puma family, generally offering longer endurance than most mediums with typical ranges around 450–550 nautical miles, and higher cabin volume, commonly seating about 16–19 passengers depending on configuration. The Sikorsky S-92 is also heavy class and a staple for offshore transport; it typically provides about 500–550 nautical miles of range and commonly carries around 19 passengers in standard offshore seating. Actual figures vary with fuel reserves, mission equipment, and cabin layout.
