Nearly 90 Flights Linked to Jeffrey Epstein Allegedly Landed at or Took Off from British Airfields
Analysis has uncovered that nearly 90 aircraft journeys associated to Jeffrey Epstein are said to have arrived at and departed from UK airports, with some allegedly having onboard British women who allege they were exploited by the found guilty sex offender.
Flight Logs Show Pattern of Travel
These aviation records were among a trove of court documents and files released by Epstein’s estate that have been released over the last year. The investigation uncovered 87 flights connected to Epstein – including many that were not previously known – arriving or departing from British airfields between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and Post-Conviction Flights
Unidentified women were listed among the passengers entering and exiting the UK. Crucially, 15 of these British airport journeys occurred subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a child.
“It was ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his activities in the country,” said American attorneys representing numerous Epstein victims.
UK Survivors and Court Cases
Evidence from one of the UK-based survivors helped convict Epstein’s associate socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. But, that individual has not been approached by British law enforcement, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a response, the London's Metropolitan Police stated they had “not received any new information that would support reopening the inquiry.” They added, “Should new and relevant information be presented to us, encompassing any resulting from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will assess it.”
Continuing Document Release and Legal Rulings
A bill to make public all files held by the American government in relation to Epstein passed the House and Senate last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. Hundreds of thousands of papers are expected to be released.
Separately, a federal judge ruled last week that the department could disclose evidence from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
