Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Boeing Bbj Max 9 vs Bombardier Global 7500 vs Piper M600 Sls

The Airbus H225 is a twin‑engine heavy helicopter suited to offshore and utility missions rather than long-range business travel. Typical range is roughly 500–700 nautical miles depending on load, and it commonly carries about 12–19 passengers in transport configurations (layouts vary widely). The Boeing BBJ MAX 9 is a large corporate airliner based on the 737 MAX 9, offering intercontinental capability. In VIP configuration it generally carries a few dozen passengers (often around 25–50) with range on the order of about 6,000–6,600 nautical miles, depending on options and cabin fit. The Bombardier Global 7500 is an ultra‑long‑range purpose-built business jet. It typically seats around 14–19 passengers in executive layouts and is designed for approximately 7,700 nautical miles of range, emphasizing speed, cabin comfort, and nonstop city pairs. The Piper M600 SLS is a single‑engine turboprop for owner‑pilots and small teams. It seats up to 6 passengers (plus pilot) and offers roughly 1,000–1,500 nautical miles of range, trading ultimate range and capacity for lower operating costs and access to shorter runways.
