Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Embraer Legacy 650 E vs Pilatus Pc 24

The Airbus H225 is a long‑range twin‑engine helicopter optimized for offshore, SAR, and utility missions rather than point‑to‑point executive flying. It typically carries a larger group depending on interior fit, commonly around 16–19 passengers (and can be configured for more in utility layouts), with practical range roughly in the 450–550 nm class, trading speed and cabin refinement for vertical access and mission flexibility. The Embraer Legacy 650E is a large‑cabin business jet aimed at intercity and intercontinental legs. It seats about 13 passengers in a typical executive configuration (with higher‑density options), and offers around 3,900 nm of range, making it the clear leader here for nonstop long routes and overall cruise efficiency. The Pilatus PC‑24 is a “super versatile” light jet built for access, including short and semi‑prepared runways. It generally seats 6–10 passengers depending on layout, with range around 2,000 nm. It sits between the other two: far more range and speed than the H225, but less range and cabin volume than the Legacy 650E.
