Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Bombardier Global 7500 vs Gulfstream G700 vs Piaggio Avanti Evo

The Airbus H225 is a heavy twin‑engine helicopter aimed at offshore, SAR, and utility missions rather than long‑range business travel. Its practical range is roughly 500–650 nautical miles depending on payload and reserves, and it can carry about 19 passengers in typical transport seating (more in high‑density layouts). The Bombardier Global 7500 is an ultra‑long‑range business jet designed for intercontinental flights, offering about 7,700 nautical miles of range and usually seating 14–19 passengers in executive configurations. The Gulfstream G700 is also an ultra‑long‑range business jet, optimized for speed and cabin volume, with roughly 7,500 nautical miles of range and typical executive seating around 13–19 passengers. The Piaggio Avanti EVO is a high‑speed twin‑turboprop suited to shorter regional missions and efficient operations. Its range is about 1,500–1,800 nautical miles, with typical seating for 6–9 passengers. Overall, the Global 7500 and G700 dominate long‑haul range and executive comfort, the Avanti EVO targets efficient regional travel, and the H225 provides helicopter flexibility where runways aren’t available.
