The Bombardier Global 7500 is a long‑range, large‑cabin business jet designed for intercontinental travel. It typically carries around 14–19 passengers depending on layout and has an ultra‑long range on the order of about 7,700 nautical miles, making it suited to nonstop city pairs that helicopters and small utility aircraft cannot approach. The Leonardo (Agusta) AW189 is a super‑medium twin‑engine helicopter aimed at offshore, SAR, and utility missions. It generally seats up to about 16–19 passengers in high‑density configurations, with a typical range roughly in the 450–500 nautical mile class (mission and tanks dependent). The Enstrom 480B is a light single‑engine piston helicopter used for training, patrol, and utility work. It usually carries 4–5 people including the pilot, with range typically around 300–350 nautical miles. The Robinson R66 is a light single‑engine turbine helicopter positioned for private, utility, and light commercial use. It commonly carries 4–5 people including the pilot, with range generally around 300–350 nautical miles.
