Leonardo Aw109 Trekker vs Leonardo Aw169 vs Leonardo Aw189 vs Sikorsky S 76d vs Sikorsky S 92

The Leonardo AW109 Trekker is best seen as a light twin, typically used for short to medium missions such as VIP, utility, and EMS, with a practical cabin load usually around six to seven passengers (or a smaller clinical layout) and generally shorter range than the larger types. The Sikorsky S-76D sits in the light–intermediate class with a larger, more executive-leaning cabin than the AW109, commonly carrying about six to eight passengers and offering medium range suitable for corporate and near-offshore work. The Leonardo AW169 is a modern intermediate twin aimed at EMS, public service, and light offshore roles, often configured for about eight to ten passengers and providing medium to longer range than AW109/S-76D depending on fit. The Leonardo AW189 is a super-medium helicopter optimized for offshore transport, typically accommodating roughly 16–18 passengers with longer range than the intermediate class. The Sikorsky S-92 is a heavy helicopter, also offshore-focused, commonly seating about 19 passengers and delivering the longest range and payload capability among this group.
