Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Gulfstream G700 vs Leonardo Aw189 vs Piaggio Avanti Evo

The Airbus H225 and Leonardo AW189 are large, twin‑engine helicopters aimed at offshore, SAR, and utility missions, while the Gulfstream G700 and Piaggio Avanti EVO are fixed‑wing business aircraft optimized for fast point‑to‑point travel. In range, the G700 is in a different class, offering roughly 7,500+ nautical miles, enabling intercontinental nonstop flights; the Avanti EVO is typically around 1,500–1,800 nautical miles depending on payload and reserves. Helicopter range is shorter: the H225 is commonly around 450–500 nautical miles, and the AW189 around 450–500 nautical miles, mission‑fit dependent. For passenger capacity, the G700 is usually configured for about 10–19 passengers in a business cabin, the Avanti EVO typically seats about 6–9. The H225 can carry a much larger cabin load for a helicopter—often around 16–19 passengers in offshore-style seating (higher in dense layouts), while the AW189 commonly carries about 16–18. Overall, G700 leads on range and speed, H225/AW189 lead on vertical-access utility, and Avanti EVO sits between as a shorter-range, efficient turboprop business aircraft.
