For passenger capacity, the Falcon 8X typically carries about 12–16 passengers in a business layout. The Grand Caravan EX commonly seats around 9–14 passengers depending on configuration. The Bell 525 is usually configured for roughly 10–16 seats depending on mission and interior. The Robinson R66 is the smallest here, typically accommodating a pilot plus about four passengers (around five seats total).
