Approximately Ninety Air Travels Linked to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Landed at or Took Off from British Airports
An investigation has identified that nearly 90 aircraft journeys associated to Jeffrey Epstein allegedly arrived at and departed from British airports, with some allegedly having onboard women from the UK who allege they were exploited by the found guilty child sex offender.
Aviation Records Reveal Pattern of Travel
The flight logs were part of thousands of legal papers and files released by Epstein’s estate that have been made public over the last year. The review identified 87 flights tied to Epstein – including many that were hitherto undisclosed – arriving or departing from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and Post-Conviction Flights
Unnamed women were documented among the passengers flying to and from the UK. Crucially, 15 of these UK flights took place after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a minor.
“This is ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his activities in the country,” remarked US lawyers representing hundreds of Epstein victims.
British Victims and Legal Proceedings
Testimony from one of the UK-based survivors helped convict Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. However, that survivor has not received any contact by police in the UK, as stated by her attorney based in Florida.
In a response, the London's Metropolitan Police indicated they had “not been provided with any new information that would support reopening the inquiry.” They noted, “Should fresh and pertinent information be presented to us, encompassing any arising from the release of material in the US, we will assess it.”
Continuing Disclosure and Legal Rulings
Proposed legislation to release all files held by the US government in concerning Epstein passed the House and Senate last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to follow through. A vast number of documents are projected to be made public.
Separately, a US judge ordered last week that the department could publicly release investigative materials from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
