Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Boeing Bbj Max 9 vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Leonardo Aw189

The Airbus H225 and Leonardo AW189 are twin‑engine helicopters optimized for vertical access to offshore platforms and remote sites. Their typical passenger loads are roughly 16–19 in high‑density seating (often fewer in VIP layouts). Range is comparatively short: about 450–500 nautical miles for the AW189 and around 450–540 nautical miles for the H225 depending on fit, reserves, and payload. The Boeing BBJ MAX 9 is a large, long‑range airliner‑based business jet intended for intercontinental travel with airline levels of space. It can carry well over 100 passengers in dense airline seating, but BBJ/VIP configurations commonly seat far fewer (often a few dozen). Range is roughly 3,400–3,600 nautical miles, again highly dependent on configuration. The Dassault Falcon 8X is a purpose‑built long‑range business jet focused on efficient, non‑stop intercontinental missions and access to smaller airports. Typical capacity is about 12–16 passengers in executive layouts, with a maximum around 19. Its range is about 6,000+ nautical miles, generally exceeding the BBJ MAX 9 while carrying far fewer people.
