Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Bombardier Global 7500 vs Piaggio Avanti Evo

The Airbus H225 is a long‑range twin‑engine helicopter primarily used for offshore transport, search and rescue, and utility missions rather than point‑to‑point airline‑style travel. Its practical range is typically in the few‑hundred‑nautical‑mile class depending on payload and reserves, and it can carry roughly around 19 passengers in a high‑density cabin (often fewer in missionized layouts). The Bombardier Global 7500 is an ultra‑long‑range business jet built for intercontinental routes. It offers the longest range of the three at about 7,700 nautical miles, and it commonly seats 14–19 passengers in executive configurations (with higher maximum capacity possible depending on certification and layout). The Piaggio Avanti EVO is a twin‑turboprop business aircraft positioned between them: optimized for efficient regional and medium‑range flights. It typically ranges around 1,500–1,800 nautical miles and usually carries about 6–8 passengers in a corporate cabin.
