Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Gulfstream G700 vs Leonardo Aw189

The Airbus H225 and Leonardo AW189 are twin‑engine helicopters optimized for vertical lift missions, while the Gulfstream G700 is a long‑range business jet designed for high‑speed, point‑to‑point travel between airports. In range, the G700 is in a different class, capable of intercontinental distances on the order of roughly 7,000–7,500 nautical miles depending on configuration and reserves. The H225 and AW189 have helicopter ranges typically in the few‑hundred‑nautical‑mile to around ~500–700 nautical mile class (mission profile, payload, and fuel fit dependent), making them better suited to offshore, SAR, utility, and regional shuttle roles rather than nonstop transoceanic travel. For passenger capacity, the G700 commonly seats around 13–19 in executive layouts, with maximum configurations higher, whereas the H225 is a larger‑cabin helicopter that can carry roughly 19 passengers in typical transport seating, and the AW189 generally carries fewer, commonly around 16–19 depending on layout. Overall, choose the G700 for speed and very long range, and the H225 or AW189 when vertical access and hoist/offshore capability matter more than distance.
