Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Beechcraft King Air 360 Er vs Bombardier Global 7500 vs Piaggio Avanti Evo

The Airbus H225 is a long-range twin‑engine helicopter suited to offshore, SAR, and utility missions rather than point‑to‑point business travel. Its typical range is roughly 450–500 nautical miles (about 830–930 km), and passenger capacity is mission‑dependent, commonly around 16–19 (and up to the mid‑20s in high‑density configurations). The Beechcraft King Air 360ER is a twin‑turboprop business/utility airplane optimized for regional and remote operations. It offers about 1,500–1,800 nautical miles (2,800–3,300 km) of range and typically carries 6–9 passengers in executive layouts. The Bombardier Global 7500 is an ultra‑long‑range business jet designed for intercontinental travel. It reaches about 7,700 nautical miles (14,260 km) and generally carries 8–16 passengers, with maximum-certified seating higher depending on configuration. The Piaggio Avanti EVO is a fast twin‑turboprop aimed at efficient short‑to‑midrange business trips. Range is roughly 1,700–1,900 nautical miles (3,150–3,520 km) and typical capacity is 6–8 passengers.
