Airbus Helicopters H225 vs Leonardo Aw189 vs Robinson R66 vs Sikorsky S 92

The Airbus H225 and Sikorsky S-92 sit in the heavy, long-range offshore/utility category, designed for high utilization and harsh-weather operations. Both typically offer the longest practical ranges in this group and the highest passenger capacities, commonly configured around the high‑teens to low‑20s depending on layout and mission equipment, making them well suited to offshore oil and gas, search and rescue, and government transport. The Leonardo (Agusta) AW189 is a “super‑medium” twin that bridges capability and operating cost. It generally provides near‑offshore-class range for many missions but with a smaller cabin than H225/S‑92, often seating in the mid‑teens, and is frequently chosen for regional offshore, EMS/SAR, and corporate shuttle roles where heavy-class capacity isn’t required. The Robinson R66 is a light single-engine helicopter in a very different class. It has the shortest range here and the smallest passenger capacity, typically carrying a pilot plus up to four passengers, and is more common in private, training, utility, and short-range transport rather than offshore or heavy SAR.
