Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Beechcraft King Air 360 Er vs Bombardier Global 7500 vs Embraer Legacy 650 E

The Airbus H225 is a heavy, twin‑engine helicopter suited to offshore and utility missions rather than point‑to‑point business travel. It typically carries around 19 passengers in high‑density seating (fewer in VIP layouts) and has an approximate range on the order of 500–600 nautical miles, trading speed and range for vertical‑lift access. The Beechcraft King Air 360ER is a long‑range turboprop business aircraft. It generally seats about 6–10 passengers in corporate configurations and offers roughly 1,500–1,800 nautical miles of range, emphasizing short‑field flexibility and efficient regional missions. The Bombardier Global 7500 is an ultra‑long‑range business jet. It commonly accommodates about 8–19 passengers depending on layout and is built for intercontinental flying, with a range around 7,700 nautical miles. The Embraer Legacy 650E is a large‑cabin business jet positioned below the Global 7500 in reach. It typically seats about 8–14 passengers and offers approximately 3,900 nautical miles of range, targeting long domestic and some transoceanic missions with a spacious cabin.
