Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Bell 525 Relentless vs Bombardier Global 7500 vs Leonardo Aw189

The Bombardier Global 7500 is the outlier: it is a long‑range, large‑cabin business jet designed for intercontinental missions, with a range of roughly 7,700 nautical miles and typical passenger loads around 8–19 depending on configuration. The Airbus H225, Bell 525 Relentless, and Leonardo AW189 are heavy/“super‑medium to heavy” twin‑engine helicopters aimed at offshore energy, search and rescue, and VIP/utility roles, with far shorter ranges but greater point‑to‑point flexibility. Among the helicopters, the H225 is generally the largest, typically carrying about 19 passengers with a mission range on the order of 500–650 nautical miles depending on payload and reserves. The AW189 sits slightly below the H225 in size, commonly configured for about 16–19 passengers and roughly 450–500 nautical miles. The Bell 525 is a modern “super‑medium” competing between AW189 and H225, often around 16–20 passengers with approximately 500–600 nautical miles. Overall, the Global 7500 dominates range and cruise speed, while the helicopters trade range for vertical access and offshore practicality.
