Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Boeing Bbj Max 9 vs Gulfstream G700 vs Leonardo Aw189

The Airbus H225 and Leonardo AW189 are twin‑engine helicopters suited to vertical-lift missions where runways aren’t available. The H225 is the larger, typically carrying around 16–19 passengers in transport configurations and offering roughly 450–500 nautical miles of range depending on fit and reserves. The AW189 is a step smaller, commonly configured for about 12–16 passengers with a broadly similar but often slightly lower practical range, roughly 400–500 nautical miles. The Gulfstream G700 is a long‑range business jet focused on speed, comfort, and point‑to‑point flexibility from conventional airports. It typically seats about 13–19 in executive layouts and can fly approximately 7,500 nautical miles, enabling many nonstop intercontinental missions. The Boeing BBJ MAX 9 sits in the VIP airliner category: far larger cabin volume than a business jet, but requiring airline‑style airports and infrastructure. In executive configurations it often carries a few dozen passengers (commonly 25–50, with wide variability) and offers long range on the order of about 6,000–6,500 nautical miles, suitable for transoceanic travel with substantial cabin space.
